domxpath regex wildcard

I'm writing a PHP script to pull div id's that are incremented within their id example:

<div id="tag_1">content</div>
<div id="tag_2">content</div>

so basically, how do I write query domxpath with a wildcard like so:

$nodes = $xpath->query("//div[@id='tag_.*']");
Solution

  • You can use starts-with

    "//div/@id[starts-with(., 'tag_')]/.."
