$i= 1;
for($i; $i < 6; $i++)
{
    $html file_get_contents("http://www.jagran.com/jokes/child/jokes-1262211".$i.".html");
    libxml_use_internal_errors(true);
    $dom = new DOMDocument();
    $dom->loadHTML($html);
    libxml_clear_errors();
    $nodes = $dom->getElementsByTagName('p');
    $item = array();
    $articles = array();
    foreach ($nodes as $node) {
         $item['msg'] = (strlen($node->nodeValue) > 20 ? $node->nodeValue : '');
         $item['cat_id'] = 1;
         if($item['msg'] !="")
         $articles[] = array_unique($item);
    }
    $articles = json_encode($articles);
    print_r($articles);
}

Solution

I think PHPhil's answer is good and I upvoted it. I edited the code as it does not work just to execute the php part - instead it is important to add the right meta tag (see the code below) to show the devnagari properly. Also I wanted to correct the mistake with the missing "=". Unfortunately my edit was rejected so I have to add a new answer with the code corrections.

//--------------------add-this---------------------^
    print_r($articles);
