How to make models from external table data PHP and Laravel? - php

Question

I am currently trying to pull some data from an external website in order to create models for my website. I am able to get the data from the table that I want, but have not been able to figure out exactly how to manipulate the data to structure my models. For each row in the table, there is certain data that I want to extract. As it currently stands, I am creating a player model with all of the player names, but now need to figure out how to attach the data that I want from each row to each player. Here is my code so far:
$dom = new DOMDocument();
$html = file_get_contents('https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/team.cgi?id=41270199');
libxml_use_internal_errors(true);
$dom->loadHTML($html);
$table = $dom->getElementByID('team_batting');
$stats = $table->getElementsByTagName("td");
for ($i = 0; $i < $stats->length; $i++) {
// get player name
$attr = $stats->item($i)->getAttribute('data-stat');
if ($attr != 'player') {
continue;
}
$names[] = $stats->item($i)->textContent;
}
foreach($names as $name) {
$player = new Player(['name' => $name]);
echo $player;
echo '<br>';
}
So how would I get certain table data, like age, H, HR, and other things, and appropriately attach this data to the correct player model?
EDIT/UPDATE:
$dom = new DOMDocument();
$html = file_get_contents('https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/team.cgi?id=41270199');
libxml_use_internal_errors(true);
$dom->loadHTML($html);
$table = $dom->getElementByID('team_batting');
$rows = $table->getElementsByTagName("tr");
for($i = 0; $i < $rows->length; $i++) {
$stats = $table->getElementsByTagName("td");
for($i = 0; $i < $stats->length; $i++) {
$name = $stats->item($i)->getAttribute('player');
$age = $stats->item($i)->getAttribute('age');
$names[] = $stats->item($i)->textContent;
$ages[] = $stats->item($i)->textContent;
dd($ages);
}
}
