Why am I still getting an exception when I do this: libxml_use_internal_errors(true); $this->xml = new SimpleXMLElement($this->htmlString); or this $this->xml = new SimpleXMLElement($this->htmlString, LIBXML_NOERROR|LIBXML_NOWARNING); ? The exception says "Exception: String could not be parsed as XML". Not a hint of why not, of course. I thought the point of those things was to just stuff the content in, and let user code handle errors? I mean, I *know* the provided HTML is broken. I also know there's not a chance in hell of it ever being fixed (completely out of my control). And yes, I'd rather use DOM, but I can't.
