Re: Package Proposal: HTML_Sax

Hi Alan, OK - have put the sources are up here; http://code.phppatterns.com/HTML_Sax/HTML_Sax.phps http://code.phppatterns.com/HTML_Sax/State_Machine.phps http://code.phppatterns.com/HTML_Sax/Attributes_Parser.phps And there's a couple of examples here; http://code.phppatterns.com/HTML_Sax/examples/HTMLtoXHTML.phps http://code.phppatterns.com/HTML_Sax/examples/SimpleExample.phps API docs are up here; http://code.phppatterns.com/HTML_Sax/docs/ Don't have much experience of the tokenizer extension - I guess that would be something equivalent to the DOM API for HTML? So far I haven't been able to break HTML_Sax as such but there are some situations right now where it won't behave exactly as expected e.g.; <script language="javascript"> document.write('<b>Hello World!</b>'); </script> Would trigger events for the <b> and </b> elements. The workaround is; <script language="javascript"> <!-- document.write('<b>Hello World!</b>'); --> </script> Overall, it doesn't really care about whether the "overall picture" of a document makes sense to it - it simply triggers events every time it encounters something looking like a tag - it other words its up to the handler methods to decide what to do with events - probably this example http://code.phppatterns.com/HTML_Sax/examples/HTMLtoXHTML.phps demonstates that - the handler works for the example.html page but might not produce decent XHTML for other pages.

Can you make phps available please, I presume it's a hand based tokenizer/parser, I did a few of these before but was never very happy with them (they tended to break easily..), which is why I went down the road of using a lexer in flexy.. - which might worth breaking out as HTML_Lex one day..
