[SOLVED] Save html from element into a variable simple html dom parser

Save html from element into a variable simple html dom parser

I want to get the innerHtml from an element, with simple html dom parser.

For example:

$s = "      <div class="a">
                <p>I don't want this stuff</p>
                <div class="b">
                    <input type="button" value="testing">
                    <p>I want this stuff</p>
                </div>
            </div> ";

$html = str_get_content($s);
$ret = $html->find('div[class=b']);

Now ... I want to initialize another object, but with the html from $ret.

I've tried with $newSource = $ret[0]->save(), but it's not working. In their documentation it doesn't appear something about innerHtml or outerHtml, just innerText.

Solution

According to the documentation there is a way to dump your dom, maybe that can be used as wenn to dump just a part of your some.

echo $ret[0]; // this should return your dom fragment

if you want another object and $object = $ret[0] isn't what you're looking for, this could help:

$html = (string) $ret[0]; // convert to html
$newSource = str_get_content($html); // create new object
