Question

I am using the SimpleHTMLDomParser to go through a html code and find various things. Everything works fine so far, but there is one problem:

How do I find a string that has no ID, no class and no unique parent element?

In my case, I started with extracting content from a div:

$descrs    = $html->find('.show_synopsis');

foreach($descrs as $descr) { 

    echo($descr->innertext);

}

This looks like:

<div class="show_synopsis">

    Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr. <b>Source:</b> LORES.

</div>

Now, is it possible find and delete LORES from the above example?

Since LORES is a variable and can change, I was wondering if its possible to simply always find the word next to <b>Source:</b>?

I have tried a few different ways, but none worked so far. I have tried to adapt a solution from this post, but wasnt able to adjust them for my needs.

Try this:

echo preg_replace('/(.?)<b>.*Source:.*<\/b>.*\./', '$1', $descr->innertext);
