simple html dom and parsing table - php

Question

I have to parse 2 kind of table
one is this
http://leghe.fantagazzetta.com/f12-13/ ("Classifica Generale")
and the other two table are here
http://leghe.fantagazzetta.com/f12-13/formazioni?id=30339&g=4
how can i extract this data to an array?
for the first table i wrote this code but I really don't know what I'm doing
<?php
require('simple_html_dom.php');
$html = new simple_html_dom();
$html->load_file('http://leghe.fantagazzetta.com/f12-13/classifica');
$tabClassifica = $html->find('table#classifica tr');
foreach($tabClassifica as $n) {
$team=$n->find('td',0)->outertext;
$arrayTeams[] = array('teamname' => $team);
}
?>
<pre>
<? print_r($arrayTeams); ?>
</pre>
I've to get this Array structure
[1] => Array
(
[TeamName] => A.C. Tua
[Pt.] => 9
[G] => 4
[V] => 3
[N] => 0
[P] => 1
[G+] => 8
[G-] => 5
[Somma Punti] => 293,50
)
[2] => Array
(
[TeamName] => Ehi Team
[Pt.] => 7
[G] => 4
[V] => 2
[N] => 1
[P] => 1
[G+] => 5
[G-] => 5
[Somma Punti] => 279,50
)
[3] => Array
(
[TeamName] => Brontolo
Could someone guide me?

You can use PHPQuery to achieve what you want.
Here is an example code:
include('phpQuery-onefile.php');
$content = file_get_contents('http://leghe.fantagazzetta.com/f12-13/');
$html = phpQuery::newDocumentHTML($content);
$table = $html->find('#classifica tbody');
$general_ranking = array();
$i=0;
foreach($table->children('tr') as $tr){
/**
* #var DOMElement $tr
*/
$getTd = $tr->getElementsByTagName('td');
foreach($getTd as $td){
/**
* #var DOMElement $td
*/
$general_ranking['tr_'.$i][] = trim($td->textContent);
}
++$i;
}
This should display something similar to:
array (size=6)
'tr_0' =>
array (size=7)
0 => string 'A.C. Tua' (length=8)
1 => string '9' (length=1)
2 => string '4' (length=1)
3 => string '3' (length=1)
4 => string '0' (length=1)
5 => string '1' (length=1)
6 => string '293,50' (length=6)
'tr_1' =>
array (size=7)
0 => string 'Ehi Team' (length=8)
1 => string '7' (length=1)
2 => string '4' (length=1)
3 => string '2' (length=1)
4 => string '1' (length=1)
5 => string '1' (length=1)
6 => string '279,50' (length=6)
'tr_2' =>
array (size=7)
0 => string 'Brontolo' (length=8)
1 => string '7' (length=1)
2 => string '4' (length=1)
3 => string '2' (length=1)
4 => string '1' (length=1)
5 => string '1' (length=1)
6 => string '274,50' (length=6)
'tr_3' =>
array (size=7)
0 => string 'milanelcuore' (length=12)
1 => string '6' (length=1)
2 => string '4' (length=1)
3 => string '2' (length=1)
4 => string '0' (length=1)
5 => string '2' (length=1)
6 => string '281,00' (length=6)
'tr_4' =>
array (size=7)
0 => string 'LONGOBARDA' (length=10)
1 => string '5' (length=1)
2 => string '4' (length=1)
3 => string '1' (length=1)
4 => string '2' (length=1)
5 => string '1' (length=1)
6 => string '254,50' (length=6)
'tr_5' =>
array (size=7)
0 => string 'i puffi' (length=7)
1 => string '0' (length=1)
2 => string '4' (length=1)
3 => string '0' (length=1)
4 => string '0' (length=1)
5 => string '4' (length=1)
6 => string '258,00' (length=6)
Edit:
After answering I got interested in simple_html_dom so I decided to try it out.
The coding style is a little bit easier than PHPQuery but it's not that stable I think.
Anyway, here is the code you need to get it working:
include('simple_html_dom/simple_html_dom.php');
$html = new simple_html_dom();
$html->load_file('http://leghe.fantagazzetta.com/f12-13/classifica');
$tabClassifica = $html->find('table#classifica tr');
foreach($tabClassifica as $n) {
/**
* #var simple_html_dom_node $n;
*/
$tds = $n->find('td');
// Don't allow empty records.
$team = trim(strip_tags($tds[0]->innertext));
if($team == "" || $team == " ") continue;
$arrayTeams[] = array(
'TeamName' => $team,
'Pt.' => trim(strip_tags($tds[1]->innertext)),
'G' => trim(strip_tags($tds[2]->innertext)),
'V' => trim(strip_tags($tds[3]->innertext)),
'N' => trim(strip_tags($tds[4]->innertext)),
'P' => trim(strip_tags($tds[5]->innertext)),
'G+' => trim(strip_tags($tds[6]->innertext)),
'G-' => trim(strip_tags($tds[7]->innertext)),
'Somma Punti' => trim(strip_tags($tds[8]->innertext)),
);
}
