domxpath

I’m trying to use Wikipedia’s API (api.php) to get the content of a Wikipedia article provided by a link (like: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stackoverflow ). And what I want is to get the first paragraph (which in the example of the Stackoverflow wiki article is: Stack Overflow is a website part of the Stack Exchange network[2][3] featuring questions and answers on a wide range of topics in computer programming.[4][5][6] ). I’m going to do some data manipulation with it. I’ve tried with the API url: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=parse&page=Stackoverflow&format=xml but it gives me

I am using selenium with perl and have label on page, to access this label i have following xpath: //*[text()='some here'] , the problem that a need to get full xpath of this element, like /html/body/table/tr/..../any other/and other/ , is there is any selenium method or perl function ? looking for perl solution or any other working things. thanks looking for perl solution or any other working things This XPath 2.0 expression: string-join(for $node in ancestor-or-self::node() return concat(('@')[$node/self::attribute()], $node/name(), (concat('[', count($node/preceding-sibling::node() [name()=

I have this simple code to get the title of any page <?php $doc = new DOMDocument(); @$doc->loadHTMLFile('http://www.facebook.com'); $xpath = new DOMXPath($doc); echo $xpath->query('//title')->item(0)->nodeValue."\n"; ?> It is working fine on all pages that I have tried but not in Facebook. When I try in Facebook it is not showing Welcome to Facebook - Log In, Sign Up or Learn More , but it is showing Update Your Browser | Facebook . I think there is a problem with useragent. So is there a way to change the useragent or is there any other solution for this? You can set the user agent in php

I need to find all anchor tags, which have an img tag as child element. Consider the following cases, <a href="test1.php"> <img src="test1.jpg" alt="Test 1" /> </a> <a href="test2.php"> <span> <img src="test2.jpg" alt="Test 2" /> </span> </a> My requirement is to generate a list of href attributes along with src and alt ie, $output = array( array( 'href' => 'test1.php', 'src' => 'test1.jpg', 'alt' => 'Test 1' ), array( 'href' => 'test2.php', 'src' => 'test2.jpg', 'alt' => 'Test 2' ) ); How can I match the above cases in PHP? (Using Dom Xpath or any other dom parser) Thanks in Advance! Assuming

I'm using this example to fetch links from a website : http://www.merchantos.com/makebeta/php/scraping-links-with-php/ $xpath = new DOMXPath($dom); $hrefs = $xpath->evaluate("/html/body//a"); for ($i = 0; $i < $hrefs->length; $i++) { $href = $hrefs->item($i); var_dump($href); $url = $href->getAttribute('href'); echo "<br />Link stored: $url"; } It works well; getting all the links; but I cannot get the actual 'title' of the link; for example if i have : <a href="www.google.com">Google</a> I want to be able to fetch 'Google' term too. I'm little lost and quite new to xpath. Try this: $link

I have one solution to the subject problem, but it’s a hack and I’m wondering if there’s a better way to do this. Below is a sample XML file and a PHP CLI script that executes an xpath query given as an argument. For this test case, the command line is: ./xpeg "//MainType[@ID=123]" What seems most strange is this line, without which my approach doesn’t work: $result->loadXML($result->saveXML($result)); As far as I know, this simply re-parses the modified XML, and it seems to me that this shouldn’t be necessary. Is there a better way to perform xpath queries on this XML in PHP? XML ( note the
