how to push dom html return into array in php?

Question

This scrape returns:

• line 1:date
• line 2:home team
• line 3:score
• line 4:away team (same 4 elements repeated until the end)

I have tried everything to convert to an array, however no additions to this code have got the desired result, which would be something like a loop to give:

[1]date [2]home [3]score [4]away etc.

until the end of doc.

<?php 
$html = file_get_contents('http://www.soccerstats.com/round_details.asp?league=brazil'); //get the html returned from the following url

$doc = new DOMDocument();

libxml_use_internal_errors(TRUE);

if(!empty($html)){

  $doc->loadHTML($html);
  libxml_clear_errors(); //remove errors (html)

  $xpath = new DOMXPath($doc);

$rows = $xpath->query('//b/font');

  if($rows->length > 0){
      foreach($rows as $row){
         // $array[] = $row->nodeValue . "<br/>";
$array = $row->nodeValue . "<br/>";


print_r ($array);
      }
  }
}

?>

Actually, you are already on the right path, you need to separate first the values on the tables, then from there you can use getElementsByTagName to reach for your desired values.

Consider this example: Sample Fiddle

$data = array();
$html = file_get_contents('http://www.soccerstats.com/round_details.asp?league=brazil'); //get the html returned from the following url
$doc = new DOMDocument();
libxml_use_internal_errors(true);

if(!empty($html)){
    $doc->loadHTML('<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">'.$html);
    libxml_clear_errors();
    $xpath = new DOMXPath($doc);

    $entries = $xpath->query('//table[@class="stat"]');
    foreach($entries as $key => $value) {

        $data[] = array(
            'date' => trim($value->getElementsByTagName('font')->item(0)->nodeValue),
            'home' => trim($value->getElementsByTagName('font')->item(1)->nodeValue),
            'score' => trim($value->getElementsByTagName('font')->item(2)->nodeValue),
            'away' => trim($value->getElementsByTagName('font')->item(3)->nodeValue),
        );
    }
}

echo "<pre>";
print_r($data);
echo "</pre>";
