I'm trying to multiplicate a row (with data-id='first') from a template three times and fill the proper field ({first}) with some value (0,1,2 in this case). Below you can find my simple code. I don't understand, why this line - $nodeList = $xpath->query("//*[text()[contains(.,'first')]]", $newNode); finds more than one node (it finds nodes which contain text 'first'). It just finds both rows - the cloned and the original one, so it replaces the text in both of them, while it should replace it only in the new one - please note that I'm providing the second parameter for function $xpath->query which should make the search relative to just that new node I just cloned.
Here's a fiddle: https://eval.in/170941
HTML:
<html>
<head>
<title>test</title>
</head>
<body>
<table>
<tr data-id="first">
<td>{first}</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
PHP:
<?php
$dom = new DOMDocument();
$dom->loadHTML($html);
$xpath = new DOMXPath($dom);
$element = $xpath->query("//*[#data-id='first']")->item(0);
$element->removeAttribute("data-id");
$parent = $element->parentNode;
for ($i = 0; $i < 3; $i++) {
$newNode = $element->cloneNode(true);
$parent->insertBefore($newNode, $element);
$nodeList = $xpath->query("//*[text()[contains(.,'first')]]", $newNode);
for($j = 0; $j < $nodeList->length; $j++) {
$n = $nodeList->item($j);
$n->nodeValue = preg_replace("{{first}}", $i, $n->nodeValue);
}
}
$parent->removeChild($element);
echo $dom->saveHTML();
As you can see, the result is a three elements table with rows valued 0,0,0, while expected values should be 0,1,2.
Starting an xpath location path with / means tha it start at the document root. So //* is always any element node, the context argument has no effect.
Try:
$nodeList = $xpath->query(".//*[text()[contains(.,'first')]]", $newNode);
HINT: DOMXpath::query() does only allow expressions that return a node list, DOMXpath::evaluate() allows all expressions. Example: count(//*).
HINT: DOMNodelist objects implement iterator, you can use foreach to iterate them.
The problem you are having is that you are cloning the original node, but in your first pass you're altering the original node's content. Every pass after that is copying the already modified node, so there is no {first} to find.
One solution is to make a clone of the source element which you never insert into the document, and use that inside your loop.
Here's my fiddle: https://eval.in/171149
<?php
$html = '<html><head><title>test</title></head><body><table><tr data-id="first"><td>{first}</td></tr></table></body></html>';
$dom = new DOMDocument();
$dom->loadHTML($html);
$xpath = new DOMXPath($dom);
$element = $xpath->query("//*[#data-id='first']")->item(0);
$element->removeAttribute("data-id");
$parent = $element->parentNode;
$clonedNode = $element->cloneNode(true);
for ($i = 0; $i < 3; $i++) {
$newNode = $clonedNode->cloneNode(true);
$parent->insertBefore($newNode, $element);
$nodeList = $xpath->query("//*[text()[contains(.,'first')]]", $newNode);
for($j = 0; $j < $nodeList->length; $j++) {
$n = $nodeList->item($j);
$n->nodeValue = preg_replace("{{first}}", $i, $n->nodeValue);
}
}
$parent->removeChild($element);
echo $dom->saveHTML();

How do I change the outerHtml of an element using PHP DomDocument class? Make sure, no third party library is used such as Simple PHP Dom or else.
For example:
I want to do something like this.
$dom = new DOMDocument;
$dom->loadHTML($html);
$tag = $dom->getElementsByTagName('h3');
foreach ($tag as $e) {
$e->outerHTML = '<h5>Hello World</h5>';
}
libxml_clear_errors();
$html = $dom->saveHTML();
echo $html;
And the output should be like this:
Old Output: <h3>Hello World</h3>
But I need this new output: <p>Hello World</p>
You can create a copy of the element content and attributes in a new node (with the new name you need), and use the function replaceChild().
The current code will work only with simple elements (a text inside a node), if you have nested elements, you will need to write a recursive function.
$dom = new DOMDocument;
$dom->loadHTML($html);
$titles = $dom->getElementsByTagName('h3');
for($i = $titles->length-1 ; $i >= 0 ; $i--)
{
$title = $titles->item($i);
$titleText = $title->textContent ; // get original content of the node
$newTitle = $dom->createElement('h5'); // create a new node with the correct name
$newTitle->textContent = $titleText ; // copy the content of the original node
// copy the attribute (class, style, ...)
$attributes = $title->attributes ;
for($j = $attributes->length-1 ; $j>= 0 ; --$j)
{
$attributeName = $attributes->item($j)->nodeName ;
$attributeValue = $attributes->item($j)->nodeValue ;
$newAttribute = $dom->createAttribute($attributeName);
$newAttribute->nodeValue = $attributeValue ;
$newTitle->appendChild($newAttribute);
}
$title->parentNode->replaceChild($newTitle, $title); // replace original node per our copy
}
libxml_clear_errors();
$html = $dom->saveHTML();
echo $html;
I need to process a DOM and remove all hyperlinks to a particular site while retaining the underlying text. Thus, something ling text changes into text. Taking cue from this thread, I wrote this:
$as = $dom->getElementsByTagName('a');
for ($i = 0; $i < $as->length; $i++) {
$node = $as->item($i);
$link_href = $node->getAttribute('href');
if (strpos($link_href,'offendinglink.com') !== false) {
$cl = $node->getAttribute('class');
$text = new DomText($node->nodeValue);
$node->parentNode->insertBefore($text, $node);
$node->parentNode->removeChild($node);
$i--;
}
}
This works fine except that I also need to retain the class attributed to the offending <a> tag and maybe turn it into a <div> or a <span>. Thus, I need this:
text
to turn into this:
<div class="nice">text</div>
How do I access the new element after it's been added (like in my code snippet)?
quote "How do I access the new element after it's been added (like in my code snippet)?" - your element is in $text i think.. anyway, i think this should work, if you need to save the class and the textContent, but nothing else
foreach($dom->getElementsByTagName('a') as $url){
if(parse_url($url->getAttribute("href"),PHP_URL_HOST)!=='badsite.com') {
continue;
}
$ele = $dom->createElement("div");
$ele->textContent = $url->textContent;
$ele->setAttribute("class",$url->getAttribute("class"));
$url->parentNode->insertBefore($ele,$url);
$url->parentNode->removeChild($url);
}
Tested solution:
<?php
$str = "<b>Dummy</b> <a href='http://google.com' target='_blank' class='nice' id='nicer'>Google.com</a> <a href='http://yandex.ru' target='_blank' class='nice' id='nicer'>Yandex.ru</a>";
$doc = new DOMDocument();
$doc->loadHTML($str);
$anchors = $doc->getElementsByTagName('a');
$l = $anchors->length;
for ($i = 0; $i < $l; $i++) {
$anchor = $anchors->item(0);
$link = $doc->createElement('div', $anchor->nodeValue);
$link->setAttribute('class', $anchor->getAttribute('class'));
$anchor->parentNode->replaceChild($link, $anchor);
}
echo preg_replace(['/^\<\!DOCTYPE.*?<html><body>/si', '!</body></html>$!si'], '', $doc->saveHTML());

I want to extract all the attributes name="" of a website,
example html
<div class="link_row">
link
</div>
I have the following code:
<?php
$html = new DOMDocument();
#$html->loadHtmlFile('http://www.onedomain.com/plus?ca=11_c&o=1');
$xpath = new DOMXPath( $html );
$nodelist = $xpath->query( "//div[#class='link_row']/a[#class='listing_container']/#name" );
foreach ($nodelist as $n){
echo $n->nodeValue."\n<br>";
}
?>
Result is:
7777
This code is working fine, but need not be limited to one pager number.
http://www.onedomain.com/plus?ca=11_c&o=1 pager attr is "o=1"
I would like once you finish with o=1, follow with o=2
to my variable defined $last=556 is equal http://www.onedomain.com/plus?ca=11_c&o=556
Could you help me?
What is the best way to do it?
Thanks
Use a for (or while) loop. I don't see $last in your provided code so I've statically set the max value plus one.
$html = new DOMDocument();
for($i =1; $i < 557; $i++) {
#$html->loadHtmlFile('http://www.onedomain.com/plus?ca=11_c&o=' . $i);
$xpath = new DOMXPath( $html );
$nodelist = $xpath->query( "//div[#class='link_row']/a[#class='listing_container']/#name" );
foreach ($nodelist as $n){
echo $n->nodeValue."\n<br>";
}
}
Simpler example:
for($i =1; $i < 557; $i++) {
echo $i;
}

I am trying to fetch the name,address and location from crawling of a website . Its a single page and dont want any other thing other than this. I am using the below code.
<?php
include 'simple_html_dom.php';
$html = "http://www.phunwa.com/phone/0191/2604233";
$dom = new DomDocument();
$dom->loadHtml($html);
$xpath = new DomXpath($dom);
$div = $xpath->query('//*[#class="address-tags"]')->item(0);
for($i=0; $i < $div->length; $i++ )
{
print "nodename=".$div->item( $i )->nodeName;
print "\t";
print "nodevalue : ".$div->item( $i )->nodeValue;
print "\r\n";
echo $link->getElementsByTagName("<p>");
}
?>
The website html source code is
<div class="address-tags">
<p><strong>Name:</strong> RAJ GOPAL SINGH</p>
<p><strong>Address:</strong> R/O BARNAI NETARKOTHIAN, P.O.MUTHI TEH.& DISTT.JAMMU,X, 181206</p>
<p><strong>Location:</strong> JAMMU, Jammu & Kashmir, India</p>
<p><strong>Other Numbers:</strong> 01912604233 | +911912604233 | +91-191-2604233</p>
Can somone please help me get the three attributes as output. Nothing is echop on the page as of now.
Thanks alot .
you need $dom->load($html); instead of $dom->loadHtml($html);. After doing this you wil; find your html is not well formed, so $xpath stay empty.
Maybe try something like:
$html = file_get_contents('http://www.phunwa.com/phone/0191/2604233');
$name = preg_replace('/(.*)(<p><strong>Name:<\/strong> )([^<]+)(<\/p>)(.*)/mis','$3',$html);
$address = preg_replace('/(.*)(<p><strong>Address:<\/strong> )([^<]+)(<\/p>)(.*)/mis','$3',$html);
$location = preg_replace('/(.*)(<p><strong>Location:<\/strong> )([^<]+)(<\/p>)(.*)/mis','$3',$html);
$othernumbers = preg_replace('/(.*)(<p><strong>Other Numbers:<\/strong> )(.*)/mis','$3',$html);
list($othernumbers,$trash)= preg_split('/<\/p>/mis',$othernumbers,0);
echo 'name: '.$name.'<br>address: '.$address.'<br>location: '.$location.'<br>other numbers: '.$othernumbers;
exit;
You should use the following for your XPath query:
//*[#class='address-tags']/p
so you're retrieving the actual paragraph nodes that are children of the 'address-tags' parent. Then you can use a loop on them:
$nodes = $xpath->query('//*[#class="address-tags"]/p');
for ($i = 0; $i < $nodes->length; $i++) {
echo $nodes->item($i)->nodeValue;
}
// or just
foreach($nodes as $node) {
echo $node->nodeValue;
}
Right now your code is properly fetching the first div that's found, but then you continue treating that div as if it was a DOMNodeList returned from an xpath query, which is incorrect. ->item() returns a DOMNode object, which does NOT have an ->item() method.
I Can't remove node from DOMDocument(get Exception):
My Code:
<?php
function filterElements($htmlString) {
$doc = new DOMDocument();
$doc->loadHTML($htmlString);
$nodes = $doc->getElementsByTagName('a');
for ($i = 0; $i < $nodes->length; $i++) {
$node=$nodes->item($i)
if ($value->nodeValue == 'my_link') {
$doc->removeChild($node);
}
}
}
$htmlString = '<div>begin..</div>this tool<a name="my_link">Beo</a> great!<div>.end</div>';
filterKeyLinksElements($htmlString);
?>
Thanks,

First off, what exception are you getting (It likely matters).
As for the specific problem, my guess would be as follows::
The $node is not a child of the document. It's a child of its parent. So you'd need to do:
$node->parentNode->removeChild($node);
