Convert HTML to CSV in php?

Question

I have a html table structure like this;

            
                ID
                

        

Answer 1

You can load them in an array using the PHP DOM classes

$data = array();
$doc = new DOMDocument();
$doc->loadHTML($html);
$rows = $doc->getElementsByTagName('tr');
foreach($rows as $row) {
    $values = array();
    foreach($row->childNodes as $cell) {
        $values[] = $cell->textContent;
    }
    $data[] = $values;
}

You can then convert that array to CSV data like in your example, or just simply build the CSV string directly in the loops.
