My first post! And this is how I get elements by attribute and its value. For an example, if I want to grab all DIV tags with class name 'className', then... <?php $some_link = 'some website'; $tagName = 'div'; $attrName = 'class'; $attrValue = 'className'; $dom = new DOMDocument; $dom->preserveWhiteSpace = false; @$dom->loadHTMLFile($some_link); $html = getTags( $dom, $tagName, $attrName, $attrValue ); echo $html; function getTags( $dom, $tagName, $attrName, $attrValue ){ $html = ''; $domxpath = new DOMXPath($dom); $newDom = new DOMDocument; $newDom->formatOutput = true; $filtered = $domxpath->query("//$tagName" . '[@' . $attrName . "='$attrValue']"); // $filtered = $domxpath->query('//div[@class="className"]'); // '//' when you don't know 'absolute' path // since above returns DomNodeList Object // I use following routine to convert it to string(html); copied it from someone's post in this site. Thank you. $i = 0; while( $myItem = $filtered->item($i++) ){ $node = $newDom->importNode( $myItem, true ); // import node $newDom->appendChild($node); // append node } $html = $newDom->saveHTML(); return $html; } ?> Please, improve it, and share it. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 68.161.233.74 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/domdocument.getelementsbytagname.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/100228 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100228/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100228/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100228/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100228/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100228/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100228/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100228 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/100228 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
