Lets say I have this comment block containing HTML:
<html>
<body>
<code class="hidden">
<!--
<div class="a">
<div class="b">
<div class="c">
<a href="link">Link Test 1</a>
</div>
<div class="c">
<a href="link">Link Test 2</a>
</div>
<div class="c">
<a href="link">Link Test 3</a>
</div>
</div>
</div>
-->
</code>
<code>
<!-- test -->
</code>
</body>
</html>
Using DOMXPath for PHP, how do I get the links and text within the tag?
This is what I have so far:
$dom = new DOMDocument();
$dom->loadHTML("HTML STRING"); # not actually in code
$xpath = new DOMXPath($dom);
$query = '/html/body/code/comment()';
$divs = $dom->getElementsByTagName('div')->item(0);
$entries = $xpath->query($query, $divs);
foreach($entries as $entry) {
# shows entire text block
echo $entry->textContent;
}
How do I navigate so that I can get the "c" classes and then put the links into an array?
EDIT Please note that there are multiple <code> tags within the page, so I can't just get an element with the code attribute.
You already can target the comment containing the links, just follow thru that and make another query inside it. Example:
$sample_markup = '<html>
<body>
<code class="hidden">
<!--
<div class="a">
<div class="b">
<div class="c">
<a href="link">Link Test 1</a>
</div>
<div class="c">
<a href="link">Link Test 2</a>
</div>
<div class="c">
<a href="link">Link Test 3</a>
</div>
</div>
</div>
-->
</code>
</body>
</html>';
$dom = new DOMDocument();
$dom->loadHTML($sample_markup); # not actually in code
$xpath = new DOMXPath($dom);
$query = '/html/body/code/comment()';
$entries = $xpath->query($query);
foreach ($entries as $key => $comment) {
$value = $comment->nodeValue;
$html_comment = new DOMDocument();
$html_comment->loadHTML($value);
$xpath_sub = new DOMXpath($html_comment);
$links = $xpath_sub->query('//div[@class="c"]/a'); // target the links!
// loop each link, do what you have to do
foreach($links as $link) {
echo $link->getAttribute('href') . '<br/>';
}
}
