dilbertone Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 good evening dear Community, Well first of all: felize Navidad - I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas!! Today i'm trying to debug a little DOMDocument object in PHP. Ideally it'd be nice if I could get DOMDocument to output in a array-like format, to store the data in a database! My example: head over to the url - see the example: the target http://dms-schule.bildung.hessen.de/suchen/suche_schul_db.html?show_school=8880 I investigated the Sourcecode: I want to filter out the data that that is in the following class <div class="floatbox"> See the sourcecode: <span class="grey"> <span style="font-size:x-small;">></span></span> <a class="navLink" href="http://dms-schule.bildung.hessen.de/suchen/index.html" title="Suchformulare zum hessischen schulischen Bildungssystem">suche</a> </div> </div> <!-- begin of text --> <h3>Siegfried-Pickert Schule</h3> <div class="floatbox"> See my approach: Here is the solution return the labels and values in a formatted array ready for input to mysql! <?php $dom = new DOMDocument(); @$dom->loadHTMLFile('http://dms-schule.bildung.hessen.de/suchen/suche_schul_db.html?show_school=8880'); $divElement = $dom->getElementById('floatbox'); $innerHTML= ''; $children = $divElement->childNodes; foreach ($children as $child) { $innerHTML = $child->ownerDocument->saveXML( $child ); $doc = new DOMDocument(); $doc->loadHTML($innerHTML); //$divElementNew = $dom->getElementsByTagName('td'); $divElementNew = $dom->getElementsByTagname('td'); /*** the array to return ***/ $out = array(); foreach ($divElementNew as $item) { /*** add node value to the out array ***/ $out[] = $item->nodeValue; } echo '<pre>'; print_r($out); echo '</pre>'; } well Duhh: this outputs lot of garbage. The code spits out a lot of html anyway. What can i do to get a more cleaned up code!? What is wrong with the idea of using this attribute: $dom->getElementById('floatbox'); any idea!? any and all help will greatly appreciated. season-greetings db1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dilbertone Posted December 25, 2010 Author Share Posted December 25, 2010 Hello dear friends, found out the following: $dom->getElementById('floatbox'); ...in original html it's not an id, it's a class. So i have to rewrite like so: $divElement = $dom->getElementByClass('floatbox'); Well i try out this solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
