Simple DOM html parser read html table - php

Question

I am trying to read specific values of this HTML table via a php dom parser. I want my code to only read the "td width" tags and output only these items from the table and look like this:
" WAITLIST, 91630, ACCY 2001, 10, Intro Financial Accounting, 3.00, Zou, Y, Duques 251, 9:35AM-10:50AM, 01/13/14-04/28/14 "
Here is the HTML table:
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="0" bgcolor="#006699">
<tr align="center" class="tableRow1Font">
<td width="7%">WAITLIST</td>
<td width="5%">91630</td>
<td width="11%">
ACCY 2001
</td>
<td width="5%">10</td>
<td width="16%">Intro Financial Accounting</td>
<td width="6%">3.00</td>
<td width="8%"> Zou, Y</td>
<td width="8%"><A HREF="http://www.gwu.edu/~map/building.cfm?BLDG=DUQUES" target="_blank" >DUQUES</a> 251</td>
<td width="13%">TR<br>09:35AM - 10:50AM</td>
<td width="14%">
01/13/14 - 04/28/14
</td>
<td width="7%">
</td>
</tr>
</table
Here is my php code which grabs the whole table, some elements of which I don't want in my output, and repeats the output multiple times:
// Retrieve the DOM from a given URL
$html = file_get_html('testdata.html');
foreach($html->find('table') as $e){
foreach($html->find('td') as $f){
echo $f->innertext . '<br>';
}
}
How can I change my code to only grab and output these elements:
"WAITLIST, 91630, ACCY 2001, 10, Intro Financial Accounting, 3.00, Zou, Y, Duques 251, 9:35AM-10:50AM, 01/13/14-04/28/14"

Answer 1

// Retrieve the DOM from a given URL
$html = file_get_html('testdata.html');
foreach($html->find('table') as $e){
foreach($e->find('td') as $f){
echo strip_tags($f->innertext) . '<br>';
}
}
You were pretty close already...
Forgot about the tag. See if strip_tags works for you.
