Why the query doesn't match the DOM? - php

Question

Here is my code:
$res = file_get_contents("http://www.lenzor.com/photo/search/index/type/user/%D8%B9%D9%84%DB%8C//text/%D9%81%D8%A7%D8%B7%D9%85%D9%87");
$doc = new \DOMDocument();
#$doc->loadHTMLFile($res);
$xpath = new \DOMXpath($doc);
$links = $xpath->query("//ul[#class='user_box']/li");
$result = array();
if (!is_null($links)) {
foreach ($links as $link) {
$href = $link->getAttribute('class');
$result[] = [$href];
}
}
print_r($result);
Here is the content I'm working on. I mean it's the result of echo $res.
Ok well, the result of my code is an empty array. So $links is empty and that foreach won't be executed. Why? Why //ul[#class='user_box']/li query doesn't match the DOM ?
Expected result is an array contains the class attribute of lis.

Try this, Hope this will be helpful. There are few mistakes in your code.
1. You should search like this '//ul[#class="user_box clearfix"]/li' because class="user_box clearfix" class attribute of that HTML source contains two classes.
2. You should use loadHTMLinstead of loadHTMLFile.
<?php
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
libxml_use_internal_errors(true);
$res = file_get_contents("http://www.lenzor.com/photo/search/index/type/user/%D8%B9%D9%84%DB%8C//text/%D9%81%D8%A7%D8%B7%D9%85%D9%87");
$doc = new \DOMDocument();
$doc->loadHTML($res);
$xpath = new \DOMXpath($doc);
$links = $xpath->query('//ul[#class="user_box clearfix"]/li');
$result = array();
if (!is_null($links)) {
foreach ($links as $link) {
$href = $link->getAttribute('class');
$result[] = [$href];
}
}
print_r($result);
