how to create child nodes with php xpath query - php

Question

Code is something like this:
$b = $xpath->query('//td[#class="abc"]');
foreach ($b as $b2) { /*contents*/ }
Inside td, this contents will be there:
<h2>Link Title
<span class="spanclass">Spinning</span></h3>
<div class="xyz">ABC XYZ abc xyz</div>
<span class="phr">Style</span>red
if i print/echo, "print_r ($b2->nodeValue);", content will be like this:
Link Title
Spinning
ABC XYZ abc xyz
Style red
Now tried, this code inside each $b2:
foreach ($xpath->query('.//a[#href]', $b2) as $child) {
print_r($child->nodeValue);
}
Answer is coming:
Link Title
I need this information from there:
$title = 'Link Title';
$titlelink = 'http://www.example.com';
$spanclassinfo = 'Spinning';
$stylerandom = 'red';
Any help?
Thanks in advance.

You should check if it has attributes with something like this.
Get all attributes in each element
foreach ($b as $b2) {
if ($b2->hasAttributes()) {
foreach ($p->attributes as $attr) {
$name = $attr->nodeName;
$value = $attr->nodeValue;
echo 'Attribute ' . $name . ' - ' . $value . '<br />';
}
}
}
Get specific attributes from an element
foreach ($b as $b2) {
if ($b2->hasAttributes()) {
$titlelink = $b2->attributes->getNamedItem('href')->value;
}
}
You'll need to add in some checks to make sure that the attribute you're trying to select actually exists. That way you're not trying to grab the href attribute on a span tag.
