Ok, I want to create a "website mobilizer" by using PHP Simple HTML DOM Parser. In the present phase, I want to-
- change all 'ul' and 'li' tag to 'div' tag and
- change all 'table' elements (e.g. table,tr,td,th) to div. I tried an workaround for the first problem in following way:
.
$html=new new simple_html_dom();
$html>load_file($sourceurl);
$div="div";
foreach ($html->find('ul') as $element) {
$element=$div;
}
It does seem dull, but I'm not being able to find any other solution. I am discouraged for using preg_match
, though I don't know if it can give me the desired output. Any help will be appreciated.
It is possible:
$html=new new simple_html_dom();
$html>load_file($sourceurl);
foreach ($html->find('ul') as $element) {
$element->innertext = "<div>".$element->innertext."</div>";
}
Of course you can do the same with table.
More in doucmetation: Simple HTML DOM Parser Manual
$html=new new simple_html_dom();
$html>load_file($sourceurl);
$replace="ul,li,table,tr,td,th";
foreach($html->find($replace) as $key=>$element){
$html->find($replace,$key)->outertext="<div>".$element->innertext."</div>"
}
this replaces all the elements from $replace
array to <div>
in $html
DOM without changing the contents of those tags. Everything is stored in $html
DOM.
As you can see you cant use $element
to change anything in $html
, even using $element
as a reference, so you have to access $html
directly.
