      Matt Cartledge
 </a>

and get only the text i.e. Matt Carledge. Is it possitble using php simple html dom parser?
Thnk you.

$first_anchor = $list->find('a',0);
$prof_img = $first_anchor->find('img',0)->src;
echo $prof_name = $first_anchor->innertext;die();

Answer 1

Ah got it, its ->plaintext; thnk you

If we use like $something->innertext;(It gives everthing inside $something including all tags within it) AND if we use $something->plaintext;(It give only the texts exluding the tags).
