PHP HTML DomDocument getElementById problems

Question

A little new to PHP parsing here, but I can\'t seem to get PHP\'s DomDocument to return what is clearly an identifiable node. The HTML loaded will come from the \'net so ca

Answer 1

Well, you should check if $dom->loadHTML($html); returns true (success) and I would try

 var_dump($belement->nodeValue);

for output to get a clue what might be wrong.

EDIT: http://www.php-editors.com/php_manual/function.domdocument-get-element-by-id.html - it seems that DomDocument uses XPath internally.

Example:

$xpath = xpath_new_context($dom);
var_dump(xpath_eval_expression($xpath, "//*[@ID = 'YOURIDGOESHERE']"));
