How to get javascript values too with the php simple html dom?

Question

I am using the Simple HTML DOM http://simplehtmldom.sourceforge.net/

?php

include_once('simple_html_dom.php');

$content = file_get_html('https://www.mesemix.hu/hu/superman-ruhanemuk/11292-szuperhosoek-mintas-zokni.html')->plaintext;

echo $content;
?>

The problem is that, the webshop that I am trying to scrape has some javascript in it which contains important values, that I need, like this:

var productReference = 'SP- 418070';

This is the webshop's source.

Does anyone has any idea how to get the "SP- 418070" int the plaintext too?

Answer 1

The thing you do is:

Go to their store and press F12 after that click on "Elements tab" you can see all the code in there the selector for the model that you are looking for is :

.product_reference .editable

if you need to find something just use the ctrl+f for the search menu.

If your code is structured like the demo version on Simple HTML dom

$html->find('.product_reference .editable', 0)->innertext;

EDIT Use curl , run this code somewhere and you will get the whole web contents

<?php
header('content-type:text/plain');
// define the URL to load
$url = 'example.com'; //THE URL THAT YOU NEED
// start cURL
$ch = curl_init(); 
// tell cURL what the URL is
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); 
// tell cURL that you want the data back from that URL
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); 
// run cURL
$output = curl_exec($ch); 
// end the cURL call (this also cleans up memory so it is 
// important)
curl_close($ch);
// display the output
echo $output;
?>
