Use Xpath to parse HTML content with PHP
2010-09-27 @ 17:36Information will be added soon.
$content = '<div class="test"><a href="test.se">Link</a></div>';
$dom = new DOMDocument();
$dom->loadHTML($content);
$xpath = new DomXPath($dom);
$tag = $dom->getElementsByTagName("a");
$counter = $tag->length;
for ($i = 0; $i < $counter; $i++) {
$result = $tag->item($i)->nodeValue;
$content = str_replace($result, '<img src="http://www.google.com/s2/favicons?domain=seo.getupdated.se&alt=feed" />'.$result, $content);
echo $tag->item($i)-> getAttribute('href').'<br>';
}

Would love it if someone would further explain this to me?

seems like this to me:
$content = ‘Link‘;
//create some arbitrary HTML for the example
$dom = new DOMDocument();
//creates special DOM object
$dom->loadHTML($content);
//generates the DOM for the document $content
$xpath = new DomXPath($dom);
//creates special xpath object that interacts with the DOM object
//for some reason this is never used again in this script. idk why they put it in here.
$tag = $dom->getElementsByTagName(”a”);
//finds all occurrences of the ”a” tag in $content and stores as an array
$counter = $tag->length;
//gets the length of the array
for ($i = 0; $i item($i)->nodeValue;
//result = one individual ”a” tag (at index i in the array $tag)
$content = str_replace($result, ”.$result, $content);
//adding a google fav icon image in front of every ”a” tag in the array $tag
echo $tag->item($i)-> getAttribute(‘href’).”;
//print out all the URL’s of where the links go from each ”a” tag in $content
}
