Simple HTML DOM Parser – Links on a website

I’m always interested in new way to scrape websites, and when I was given a recent project to do I thought it would be the perfect time to test out a class I found recently, Simple HTML POM Parser. This is what’s so great about the PHP development community, they share.

So with a few links of code, you are able to parse a complete HTML page and get various information from it. Here I will look at getting links on a website.

  $url = "http://www.phpdeveloping.co.za/";
  $html = file_get_html($url);
  if ($links = $html->find('a'))
  {
    foreach($links as $link)
    {
      echo $link->href."\r\n";
      echo $link->title."\r\n"; 
    }
  }

As simple as that!
