Question

$p = new DOMDocument();
echo $data;
$static = $p->loadHTML($data);
$static = $static->getElementByTagName("html")->item(0);
$static = $static->getElementByTagName("body")->item(0);
$static = $static->getElementByTagName("table")->item(0);
$static = $static->getElementByTagName("tr")->item(0);
$static = $static->getElementByTagName("td")->item(0);
$static = $static->getElementByTagName("table")->item(0);
$static = $static->getElementByTagName("tr")->item(5);
$static = $static->getElementByTagName("td")->item(1);
$static = $static->getElementByTagName("div")->item(0);
$static = $static->getElementByTagName("table")->item(0);
$static = $static->getElementByTagName("tr")->item(0);
$static = $static->getElementByTagName("td")->item(0);
$static = $static->etElementByTagName("center")->item(0);
echo $static;

Thats my code above, im not sure if I am doing it correctly but it seems like its right (Im trying to basically go through the structure to find the exact part I need). However I keep getting this error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function getElementByTagName() on a non-object in blah on line 18

(Line 18 being the first “getElementByTagName”)

I also get these errors if its anything to do with it:

Warning: DOMDocument::loadHTML()
[domdocument.loadhtml]: Opening and
ending tag mismatch: td and center in
Entity, line: 83 in
on line 17

Warning: DOMDocument::loadHTML()

but yeah, can anyone help please?

Answer 1

You have mistyped the function name as getElementByTagName. The correct function name is getElementsByTagName. When I repeated your code with this correction it worked properly.
