Scraping data using PHP Simple HTML DOM

I structure like this:

<tr>
    <td>
        <strong>Tel. nr.:</strong>
        +370 000 000
        <strong>Faksas:</strong>
        +370 5 0000
    </td>
</tr>

I new in using Simple HTML DOM. What I need, I need content +370 000 000 and +370 5 0000 . I see that this library does not support Xpath, how can I write a query where I can extract the contents after the HTML link <strong>Tel. nr.:</strong> ?

I found only one way, get HTML and with regex get text from </strong> till <strong>, but maybe Simple HTML DOM have own method for this?

Solution

  • Try like this... 

       <?php
    require('simple_parser.php');
    $html = str_get_html('
    <tr>
        <td>
            <strong>Tel. nr.:</strong>
            +370 000 000
            <strong>Faksas:</strong>
            +370 5 0000
        </td>
    </tr>');
    $td =$html->find('td',0) ; 
    echo $td->plaintext;

    ?>
