php - Using simplehtmldom to grab a text snippet -
i'm trying use simplehtmldom script @ text. html structure follows
<div id="posts"> <div align="center"> <several levels of html> <strong>xxx</strong> </several levels of html> </div> <div align="center"> <several levels of html> <strong>ignore</strong> </several levels of html> </div> <div align="center"> <several levels of html> <strong>ignore</strong> </several levels of html> </div> </div> the text i'm trying @ xxx string, in first <strong> tags inside first <div> attribute align="center", inside <div> id="posts". i'm not interested in text in <div align="center"> tags further down.
the "several levels of html" include messy nested tables etc.
my code: i'm using descendant selectors , i'm "skipping" through several levels of html. reason why print_r shows "trying property of non-object"?
$html = file_get_html($page_1); $es = $html->find('div#posts div[align=center] strong'); print_r($es->plaintext); die; strangely enough statement returns same "trying property of non-object" result. doing wrong?
$es = $html->find('div#posts');
2 possible reasons :
- in
$html = file_get_html($page_1);,$page_1may not url. if it's string containing html usestr_get_htmlin$html = str_get_html('<div id="hello">hello</div><div id="world">world</div>');instead. - the html contains more 1
div#posts(which shouldn't).
