POGetting div by class with PHP DOM
text
Body
copied!<p>The problem is retrieving and displaying the div contents. Catch is, it's with a multiclass:</p> <pre><code><li class="activity user-generated" id="activity:153411947-kIq0nOFam0hE68sL6P298_DIo4s-1386284074745"> </code></pre> <p>I probably could've worked with it easier if the ID doesn't automatically generate for each new status, in my case.</p> <p>Also, on this topic, is it possible to get each tag and list them in order? </p> <p>Thanks for your time.</p> <pre><code>$classname = "activity"; $domdocument = new DOMDocument(); $domdocument->loadHTML($doc); $a = new DOMXPath($domdocument); $spans = $a->query("//*[contains(concat(' ', normalize-space(@class), ' '), ' $classname ')]"); </code></pre> <p>with $doc being the page I'm loading</p> <p>Alright, let me restart this, since the fact this isn't working is bugging me greatly.</p> <p>What I'm trying to do is read from the element I've posted, <em>but</em> I need to call it from a URL, as reading just the element itself as HTML is fine. From a URL, I get a bunch of unnecessary errors, basically repeating the same thing.</p> <pre><code>Function obtainUserStatus($Username){ $DOM = new DOMDocument(); $Class = "activity"; $DOM->loadHTMLFile('http://lifestream.aol.com/stream/' . $Username); $X = new DOMXPath($DOM); $ID = $X->query("//*[contains(concat(' ', normalize-space(@class), ' '), ' $Class ')]")->item(0)->getAttribute('id'); Echo $ID; } </code></pre> <p>Which just returns the errors.</p> <p>I need to return the div's content from the class (or the ID, which I'm doing from there -- no big deal.) </p>
