Symfony2 functional test - check table contents

Question

I have only ever used things like contains() in my assertions, so I'm not sure how I'd go about something as complex as this.

Let's say I have an array of expected answers - in this case it's YES, YES, NO.

So that means effectively, for the first and second question I'd expect to see <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-ok"></span> inside the third <td> and for the third question I'd expect to see it inside the fourth <td>.

Here is my HTML code:

<table class="table table-curved">
    <tr>
        <th width="10%">Item</th>
        <th width="60%">Description</th>
        <th width="10%">YES</th>
        <th width="10%">NO</th>
        <th width="10%">NOT APPLICABLE</th>
    </tr>

    <tr>
        <td class="report-table-inner report-centre">1</td>
        <td class="report-table-inner">Check cargo is secure and undamaged.</td>
        <td class="report-centre success"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-ok"></span></td>
        <td class="report-centre"></td>
        <td class="report-centre"></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td class="report-table-inner report-centre">2</td>
        <td class="report-table-inner">Is all cargo accounted for.</td>
        <td class="report-centre success"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-ok"></span></td>
        <td class="report-centre"></td>
        <td class="report-centre"></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td class="report-table-inner report-centre">3</td>
        <td class="report-table-inner">Is all cargo checked by customs.</td>
        <td class="report-centre"></td>
        <td class="report-centre danger"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-ok"></span></td>
        <td class="report-centre"></td>
    </tr>
    ...

How should I go about writing a test for this? Is it hard to iterate through the <tr>'s programatically?

Thank you

Note that I don't Symfony at all, but here's an answer that uses pure PHP DOM; it needs $values as an array with either 'pass' (to skip this <tr>) or an index of which column should have the glyphicon-ok class on it:

<?php
$data = <<<DATA
<table class="table table-curved">
    <tr>
        <th width="10%">Item</th>
        <th width="60%">Description</th>
        <th width="10%">YES</th>
        <th width="10%">NO</th>
        <th width="10%">NOT APPLICABLE</th>
    </tr>

    <tr>
        <td class="report-table-inner report-centre">1</td>
        <td class="report-table-inner">Check cargo is secure and undamaged.</td>
        <td class="report-centre success"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-ok"></span></td>
        <td class="report-centre"></td>
        <td class="report-centre"></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td class="report-table-inner report-centre">2</td>
        <td class="report-table-inner">Is all cargo accounted for.</td>
        <td class="report-centre success"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-ok"></span></td>
        <td class="report-centre"></td>
        <td class="report-centre"></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td class="report-table-inner report-centre">3</td>
        <td class="report-table-inner">Is all cargo checked by customs.</td>
        <td class="report-centre"></td>
        <td class="report-centre danger"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-ok"></span></td>
        <td class="report-centre"></td>
    </tr>
</table>
DATA;


$dom = new DOMDocument();
$dom->loadXML($data);
$xpath = new DOMXPath($dom);
$values = ['pass', 2, 2, 3];
$idx = 0;
foreach($xpath->query('//tr') as $tr) {
  if ($values[$idx] != 'pass') {
    $tds = $tr->getElementsByTagName('td');
    $td = $tds->item($values[$idx]);
    if ($td instanceof DOMNode && $td->hasChildNodes()) {
      if (FALSE !== strpos($td->firstChild->getAttribute('class'), 'glyphicon-ok')) {
          echo "Matched on ", $tds->item(1)->textContent, "\n";
      } else {
          echo "Not matched on ", $tds->item(1)->textContent, "\n";
      }
    }
  }
  ++$idx;
}
