XPath: How to match attributes that contain a certain string

I’m trying to parse some html with PHP DOM Xpath, but I’m having problems searching for a class name when the element has more than one. I found that if I use the hole attribute value like

$xpath->query('//div[@class="precodet precodeturgente"]'); 

it works, but if I do

$xpath->query('//div[@class="precodet"]');

it won’t give me the node value. Sometimes there’s only one class, others there are more than one, so what I want to know is if there’s a way to search for a single class name.

Answer 1

You should be able to do

$xpath->query('//div[contains(@class,"precodet")]');
