i have table like 

<html>

    <table id="data" class="outer">
        <tr><td>Date</td><td>12-09-12</td></tr>
        <tr><td>Price</td><td>15.00</td></tr>
        <tr><td>Count</td><td>67</td></tr>          
    </table>

i have to parse this to give out put for more than 100
but i am unable to get how value for “Date” “12-09-12” can be replaced with new value from database value.

please give me a small example 

$html = new simple_html_dom();
$html->load_file($page);

$items = $html->find('Date');

$s = '<html>
  <body>
    <table id="data" class="outer">
        <tr><td>Date</td><td>12-09-12</td></tr>
        <tr><td>Price</td><td>15.00</td></tr>
        <tr><td>Count</td><td>67</td></tr>          
 </table>
  </body>
</html>';
$document = new DOMDocument();
$document->loadHTML($s);

$oElement = $document->getElementById('data');
$tds = $oElement->getElementsByTagName('td');
if( 'td' == strtolower($tds->item(0)->tagName) AND 'date' == strtolower($tds->item(0)->nodeValue) )

{
    echo 'Old value: ' . $tds->item(1)->nodeValue;
    echo '<hr/>';

    $tds->item(1)->nodeValue = '13-08-11';
    echo $document->saveHTML(); //output modified HTML
}
?>

    Using Simple HTML DOM package it can be done like this. 

    $s = '<html>
  <body>
    <table id="data" class="outer">
        <tr><td>Date</td><td>12-09-12</td></tr>
        <tr><td>Price</td><td>15.00</td></tr>
        <tr><td>Count</td><td>67</td></tr>          
    </table>
  </body>
</html>';

include 'simple_html_dom.php';
$html = str_get_html($s);
$html->find('table#data tr td', 1)->innertext = '13-08-11';
echo $html;

    table#data tr td selector finds all TD tags inside TR tags inside TABLE with id="data". $html->find('table#data tr td', 1) returns second of found elements (index is 1).
