PHP way of parsing HTML string


I have a php string that contains the below HTML I am retrieving from an RSS feed. I am using simple pie and cant find any other way of splitting these two datasets it gets from <description>. If anyone knows of a way in simple pie to select children that would be great.

<div style="example"><div style="example"><img title="example" alt="example" src="example.jpg"/></div><div style="example">EXAMPLE TEXT</div></div>

to:

$image = '<img title="example" alt="example" src="example.jpg">';
$description = 'EXAMPLE TEXT';

Solution

  • $received_str = 'Your received html';
    
    $html = str_get_html($received_str);
    
    //Image tag
    $img_tag = $html->find("img", 0)->outertext;
    
    //Example Text
    $example_text = $html->find('div[style=example]', 0)->last_child()->innertext;
