Yii2 "PHP Advanced HTML DOM Parser" based on "PHP Simple HTML DOM Parser"
The goal of this project is to be a DOM-based drop-in replacement for PHP's simple html dom library., (*1)
How To Use - The same way as simple. If you use file/str_get_html then you don't need to change anything. If you are instantiating with new simple_html_dom()
then you will need to change that to new AdvancedHtmlDom()
, (*2)
What's Different - Mostly just formatting (spaces) in the html. This is added by DOM and there's no way around it. Some non-standard selectors have been dropped but many more standard ones have been added. For example: img[src!=foo]
was removed because it's not a valid selector. Added are things like a + b
and a ~ b
or even a.foo:not(.bar)
, (*3)
What's Better - 10x-20x Performance increase - Reduced memory requirement - Support for many more css selectors, (*4)
Features * Supports full set of css pseudo selectors plus many jquery extras: :not, :has, :contains, :gt, :lt, :eq * Use with css or xpath: $doc->find('h3 a'), $doc->find('//h3//a') * Jquery-style functions replace, wrap, unwrap, before after * Nodeset math: $doc->find('a')->minus($doc->find('.skip_me')) * Lots more features that haven't been documented yet., (*5)
