this was my original question I was stuck and tried to solve my problem by trying something and got stuck again
I need to extract name of candidate and his id from a pdf ,so after using pdfparser I extracted the text and downloaded the html page using php
<?php
$filename = 'filename.html';
header('Content-disposition: attachment; filename=' . $filename);
header('Content-type: text/html');
// ... the rest of your file
?>
<?php
// Include Composer autoloader if not already done.
include 'C:\Users\amite\Downloads\pdfparser-master (1)\pdfparser-master\vendor\autoload.php';
// Parse pdf file and build necessary objects.
$parser = new \Smalot\PdfParser\Parser();
$pdf = $parser->parseFile('C:\Users\amite\Desktop\Data\001.ApplicationForm-CSE-2015-1-omokop (3).pdf');
$text = $pdf->getText();
echo $text;
?>
I did this cause the info I need that was on line 12 and 13 of the view source page and this was was with all the pdf's I need ,so after downloading the html file I used the code below to see the source page of html file
<?php
show_source("filename.html");
?>
now when I run the above program I got the source page of html file which I downloaded, now I need to extract data from line 12 and 13 , the output of program looks like this :-
<html>
text
text
text
text
text
text
there are no tags except html tag and info I need is on line 12,13, if you need any clarification please ask me I will tell you. how should I extract text from line 12,13, if there is another way tell me pls. I am stuck again, if the question is vague I will clarify it or improve it, please help me.
Store the file source into an array with $source = file('filename.html'); and extract line 12 and 13 via array index 11 and 12 like this echo $source[11]; //line 12
Is this what you need?
<?php
$str = "1text
2text
3text
4text
5text
6text
7text
8text
9text
10text
11text
12text
13text
";
$k = array_slice(explode("
",$str),11,1);
print_r($k);
