Hi gang: Here's the problem. I have 184 HTML pages in a directory and each page contain a question. The question is noted in the HTML DOM like so: <p class="question"> Who is Roger Rabbit? </p> My question is -- how can I extract the string "Who is Roger Rabbit?" from each page using php? You see, I want to store the questions in a database without having to re-type, or cut/paste, each one. Now, I can extract each question by using javascript -- document.getElementById("question").innerHTML; -- and stepping through each page, but I don't want to use javascript for this. I have not found/created a working example of this using PHP. I tried using PHP's getElementByID(), but that requires the target file to be valid xml and the string to be contained within an ID and not a class. These pages do not support either requirement. Additionally, I realize that I can load the files and parse out what is between the <p> tags, but I was hoping for a "GetElementByClass" way to do this. So, is there one? Thanks, tedd -- ------- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com
