Question

How should parse with PHP (simple html dom/etc..) background and other images of webpage?

case 1: inline css

Answer 1

For Case 1:

// Create DOM from URL or file 
$html = file_get_html('http://www.google.com/');

// Get the style attribute for the item
$style = $html->getElementById("id100")->getAttribute('style');

// $style = background:url(/mycar1.jpg)
// You would now need to put it into a css parser or do some regular expression magic to get the values you need.

For Case 2/3:

// Create DOM from URL or file
$html = file_get_html('http://www.google.com/');

// Get the Style element
$style = $html->find('head',0)->find('style');

// $style now contains an array of style elements within the head. You will need to work out using attribute selectors what whether an element has a src attribute, if it does download the external css file and parse (using a css parser), if it doesnt then pass the innertext to the css parser.
