I also show the output.</p> <p>The HTML for what we are going to look at:</p> <pre><code><html> <head> <title>Simple HTML DOM - Find Text</title> </head> <body> <h3>Simple HTML DOM - Find Text</h3> <div id="first"> <p>This is a paragraph inside of div 'first'. This paragraph does not have the text we are looking for.</p> <p>As a matter of fact this div does not have the text we are looking for</p> </div> <div id="second"> <ul> <li>This is an unordered list. <li id="love1">We are looking for the following word love. <li>Does not contain the word. </ul> <p id="love2">This paragraph which is in div second contains the word love.</p> </div> <div id="third"> <a id="love3" href="goes.nowhere.com">link to love site</a> </div> </body> </html> </code></pre> <p>The PHP:</p> <pre><code><?php include_once('simple_html_dom.php'); function scraping_for_text($iUrl,$iText) { echo "iUrl=".$iUrl."<br />"; echo "iText=".$iText."<br />"; // create HTML DOM $html = file_get_html($iUrl); // get text elements $aObj = $html->find('text'); if (count($aObj) > 0) { echo "<h4>Found ".$iText."</h4>"; } else { echo "<h4>No ".$iText." found"."</h4>"; } foreach ($aObj as $key=>$oLove) { $plaintext = $oLove->plaintext; if (strpos($plaintext,$iText) !== FALSE) { echo $key.": text=".$plaintext."<br />" ."--- parent tag=".$oLove->parent()->tag."<br />" ."--- parent id=".$oLove->parent()->id."<br />"; } } // clean up memory $html->clear(); unset($html); return; } // ------------------------------------------------------------- // test it! // user_agent header... ini_set('user_agent', 'My-Application/2.5'); scraping_for_text("test_text.htm","love"); ?> </code></pre> <p>The output:</p> <pre><code>iUrl=test_text.htm iText=love Found love 18: text=We are looking for the following word love. --- parent tag=li --- parent id=love1 21: text=This paragraph which is in div second contains the word love. --- parent tag=p --- parent id=love2 25: text=link to love site --- parent tag=a --- parent id=love3 </code></pre> <p>That's all they wrote!!!!</p>

1. COGreat example. Would you know how to go from text, back to an element? I want to search by text and then find the nearest element. It's from an old table layout without any classes or IDs.

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
