How to get all value in this select?
$element = $html->find('#sizeDdl',0);
foreach($element as $elemen) {
echo ($elemen->plaintext);
}
I try this output:
Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in /h2/home/website/website.com/test.php on line 11
The idea is that each individual value should be taken and recorded in SQL base. Now is a common result , not every value separately

Answer 1

First add id in select tag as
<select name="size_select" id="sizeDdl" class="long form-control">
then change these lines
$element = $html->find('#sizeDdl',0);
foreach($element as $elemen) {
echo ($elemen->plaintext);
}
to these:
$text_array = array();
$html = "Your html";
foreach($html->find('#sizeDdl') as $element) {
$options = $element->find('option');
foreach($options as $element1) {
$text_array[] = ($element1->plaintext);
}
}
var_dump($text_array);
print_r(text_array);

Answer 2

change this line
<select name="size_select" class="long form-control">
to this line
<select name="size_select" id="sizeDdl" class="long form-control">
as your dom element should have id attribute which u r using in javascript and missing in html.

Answer 3

There is two issues with your current code.
1) You are trying to fetch an element by an id that does not exist.
2) You are iterating through a list of elements, not its children.
Either find the element by name or give it an id (sizeDbl) and iterate its children (the options) instead.
You could also modify the selector to select a list of the children instead of the select itself:
$options = $html->find('#sizeDdl option');
or
$options = $html->find('#sizeDbl')->find('option');

Answer 4

for getting select values with simple html dom
just try this code it will help you
$element = $html->find('#selectIDGoesHere',0)->find('option');
foreach($element as $elemen) {
echo "Display text:".($elemen->plaintext)."<br>";
echo "value:".($elemen->value)."<br>";
}
