Question

My PHP code

$dom = new DOMDocument();
@$dom->loadHTML($file);

$xpath = new DOMXPath($dom);
$tags = $xpath->query('//div[@class="text"]');

foreach ($tags as $tag) {
    echo $tag->textContent;
}

What I’m trying to do here is to get the content of the div that has class ‘text’ but the problem when I loop and echo the results I only get the text I can’t get the HTML code with images and all the HTML tags like p, br, img… etc i tried to use $tag->nodeValue; but also nothing worked out.

Personally, I like Simple HTML Dom Parser.

include "lib.simple_html_dom.php"

$html = str_get_html($file);
foreach($html->find('div.text') as $e){
  echo $e->innertext;
}

Pretty simple, huh? It accommodates selectors like jQuery 🙂
