Div text I want from isitdownr

Answer 1

This may be a little overkill, but you'll get the gist.

preserveWhiteSpace = false;

// Most HTML Developers are chimps and produce invalid markup...
$doc->strictErrorChecking = false;
$doc->recover = true;

$doc->loadHTMLFile('http://www.isitdownrightnow.com/check.php?domain=youtube.com');

$xpath = new DOMXPath($doc);

$query = "//div[@class='statusup']";

$entries = $xpath->query($query);
var_dump($entries->item(0)->textContent);

?>
