PHP Selector¶ ↑
Quick DOM query library I whipped up for an old PHP data miner I had which needed more flexibility.
Current supports most CSS3 selectors.
Tested with php 5.2.8
Examples¶ ↑
Given the sample html:
$html = <<<HTML
<div id="article" class="block large">
<h2>Article Name</h2>
<p>Contents of article</p>
<ul>
<li>One</li>
<li>Two</li>
<li>Three</li>
<li>Four</li>
<li><a href="#">Five</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
HTML;
The following will return an array of elements:
select_elements('div#article.large', $html); select_elements('div > h2:contains(Article)', $html); select_elements('div p + ul', $html); select_elements('ul > li:first-child', $html); select_elements('ul > li ~ li', $html); select_elements('ul > li:last-child', $html); select_elements('li a[href=#]', $html);
SelectorDOM¶ ↑
Persistant object for element selection.
$dom = new SelectorDOM($html);
$links = $dom->select('a');
$list_links = $dom->select('ul li a');
