Use css in simple_html_dom php?

I have source code :

    <li>xx</li>
     ......
</ul>
</li>

I want get plaintext of tag li:nth-child(1) by simple_html_dom :

$html->find("li.parent li:nth-child(1)")

not

$html->find("li.parent li",0);
Solution

  • You can't use complicated css with simple html dom. I suggest switching to this one:

    $html = <<<EOF
<li class="parent">
<a href="#">F</a>
<ul>
    <li>xxx</li>
    <li>yyy</li>
</ul>
</li>
EOF;

require_once('advanced_html_dom.php');
$doc = str_get_html($html);
echo $doc->find("li.parent li:nth-child(2)", 0)->text;
// yyy
