PHP Selector ↑

Quick DOM query library I whipped up for an old PHP data miner I had which needed more flexibility.

Current supports most CSS3 selectors.

Tested with php 5.2.8

Examples ↑

Given the sample html:

$html = <<<HTML
  <div id="article" class="block large">
    <h2>Article Name</h2>
    <p>Contents of article</p>
    <ul>
      <li>One</li>
      <li>Two</li>
      <li>Three</li>
      <li>Four</li>
      <li><a href="#">Five</a></li>
    </ul>
  </div>
HTML;

The following will return an array of elements:

select_elements('div#article.large', $html);
select_elements('div > h2:contains(Article)', $html);
select_elements('div p + ul', $html);
select_elements('ul > li:first-child', $html);
select_elements('ul > li ~ li', $html);
select_elements('ul > li:last-child', $html);
select_elements('li a[href=#]', $html);

SelectorDOM ↑

Persistant object for element selection.

$dom = new SelectorDOM($html);
$links = $dom->select('a');
$list_links = $dom->select('ul li a');
