    I suppose you want to parse a HTML document using PHP. I suggest you read about the http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.dom.php

    Here is an example provided by PHP Pro

    <?php

$html = '
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en-US" dir="ltr">
<head>
<title>PHPRO.ORG</title>
</head>
<body>
