I'm trying to use simple html dom to extract elements from a file that looks like this.
- The file has several tables that look the same
class=sometable
. - Each table has a few
<tr class=sometr>
. - Then inside each tr, I have
th
that has the title, and a td that has a category.
What I want to extract is all titles class=title
and their corresponding category number class=category
for all table rows in all tables. I've loaded the file in $html
. Can someone tell me what I'm supposed to find after that? I've tried even $collection = $html->find('tr');
and did a vardump on the collection but got nothing, so it looks like I'm not selecting right.
<table class="sometable">
<tbody>
<tr class="sometr">
<th><a class="title">Table 1 Title1</a></th>
<td class="category" id="categ-113"></td>
<td class="somename">Table 1 Title 1 name</td>
</tr>
<tr></tr>
<tr></tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<table class="sometable">
</table>
<table class="sometable">
</table>
