Saturday, May 21st, 2011Quick and dirty this one. How to parse HTML using PHP! For this example we will get the contents of a wikipedia infobox
- Download http://simplehtmldom.sourceforge.net/
- Upload it to your web server and include it at the top of your script
include_once(‘/home/username/public_html/simple_html_dom.php’);
- For this example we will use a school’s wikipedia page. Paste the following into your script
include_once(‘/home/username/public_html/simple_html_dom.php’);
$html = file_get_html(‘http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ashcombe_School’);
foreach($html->find(‘table.infobox tr’) as $tr) {
$detailitem['intro'] = $tr->find(‘th’, 0)->plaintext;
$detailitem['details'] = $tr->find(‘td’, 0)->innertext;$detailitems[] = $detailitem;
}
print_r($detailitems);
- Run the script and see items filling up into an array, for you to use elsewhere!
