PHP Simple HTML DOM Parser - Find Span ID

Question

I am trying to confirm if a particular

Below is an example of the HTML:

<div class="mgrRspnInline"> <div class="header"> David, Manager at The Pub, responded to this review </div> <p class="partial_entry"> <span id="response_232376288"> Thank you for taking the time to write a review and post feedback. We appreciate your comments, hope that you continue to visit us and be satisfied every time. Looking forward to seeing you again soon </span>

And below is the code I am using:

$ret = $html->getElementByTagName('span');
//print_r($ret);
foreach($review_id as $value){
    if($ret->find($value)){
        echo "Yes"; 
    } else {
        echo "No";  
    }
}

$review_id is a list of review IDs in an array I.E - response_232376288 , all I want the code to do at this point is echo Yes if it finds response_232376288 and no if it does not, but all I am getting is No's.

If anyone can assist?

Let's clean @ghost's answer up a bit. The answer is as simple as:

echo $html->find('#response_232376288', 0) ? 'Yes' : 'No';

There's really no need to clutter such a simple answer up with a bunch of extra baloney *(unless you happen to care for extra baloney I suppose)
