I'm trying to strip the numeric and punctuations from a string leaving only alpha characters in SIMPLE HTML DOM, with no success I've tried multiple approaches and just can't get it! Example string: The Amazing Retard (2012) #1 Output string: The Amazing Retard I understand it's for an undefined method and I've looked at multiple pages for this, however I'm brain farting for how to include the method. Any help would be appreciated. The error that I get is Fatal error: Call to undefined method simple_html_dom_node::preg_replace() in /home/**/public_html/wp-content/themes/*/***.php on line 123 The code is as follows: <pre><code><?php function scraping_comic() { // create HTML DOM $html = file_get_html('http://page-to-scrape.com'); // get block foreach($html->find('li.browse_result') as $article) { // get title $item['title'] = trim($article->find('h4', 0)->find('span',0)->outertext); // get title url $item['title_url'] = trim($article->find('h4', 0)->find('a.grid-hidden',0)->href); // get image $item['image_url'] = trim($article->find('img.main_thumb',0)->src); // get details $item['details'] = trim($article->find('p.browse_result_description_release', 0)->plaintext); // get sale info $item['on_sale'] = trim($article->find('.browse_comics_release_dates', 0)->plaintext); // strip numbers and punctuations $item['title2'] = trim($article->find('h4',0)->find('span',0)->preg_replace("/[^A-Za-z]/","",$item['title2'], 0)->plaintext); $ret[] = $item; } // clean up memory $html->clear(); unset($html); return $ret; } // ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- $ret = scraping_comic(); if ( ! empty($ret)) { $scrape = 'http://the-domain.com'; foreach($ret as $v) { echo ''.$v['title2'].''; echo '<a href="'.$scrape.$v['title_url'].'">'.$v['title'].'</a>'; echo '<img src="'.$v['image_url'].'">'; echo ''.$v['details'].''; echo ' '.$v['on_sale'].''; } } else { echo 'Could not scrape site!'; } ?> </code></pre>

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.
