PHP DOM Parser parse html table -

how use php dom parser parse content of table, get:

• the username
• the mobilephone number
• the status

so output of try extract be:

• randomusername - 0123456789 - active
• randomusername2 - 0987654321 - active

this html try parse (some part of it):

... <div class="table tbl-process-mobile">   <div class="table-cn">     <div class="table-bd">       <table cellspacing="0" id="idd7">  <thead>     <tr id="idd9">         <th scope="col">           <span>username</span>         </th>         <th scope="col">           <span>status</span>         </th>          <th scope="col">                   <span>prefered number</span>         </th>          <th scope="col">           <span>action</span>         </th>     </tr> </thead>  <tbody id="iddb">     <tr class="even">         <td class="even">             <div>randomusername</div>         </td><td class="odd">             <div>0123456789</div>         </td><td class="even">             <div>active</div>         </td><td class="odd">             <div>   <span id="iddc" style="display:none"></span>   <a href="xyz" id="idb2"><span>set number</span></a> </div>         </td><td class="even">             <div>   <a id="iddd" style="display:none"></a>   <a href="xyz" class="action-icon-edit" id="idb3" title="change">     <i>change</i>   </a>   <a href="xyz" class="action-icon-delete" id="idb4" title="delete">     <i>delete</i>   </a> </div>         </td>     </tr><tr class="odd">         <td class="even">             <div>randomusername2</div>         </td><td class="odd">             <div>0987654321</div>         </td><td class="even">             <div>active</div>         </td><td class="odd">             <div>   <span id="idde" style="display:none"></span>   <a href="xyz" id="idb5"><span>set number</span></a> </div>         </td><td class="even">             <div>   <a id="iddf" style="display:none"></a>   <a href="xyz" class="action-icon-edit" id="idb6" title="change">     <i>change</i>   </a>   <a href="xyz" class="action-icon-delete" id="idb7" title="delete">     <i>delete</i>   </a> </div>         </td>     </tr> </tbody> </table>     </div>   </div> </div> ... 

i started php code:

<?php error_reporting(0); $matches = array(); $dom = new domdocument;  $dom->loadhtmlfile('settings.html'); 

how extract values, what's best way parse html point?

$field_names = ['username', 'phone', 'status']; $result = [];  // search div tags having tbl-process-mobile class $containers = $doc->getelementsbytagname('div'); foreach ($containers $container) {   if (!isset($container->attributes['class']))     continue;    if (false === strpos($container->attributes['class']->value,     'tbl-process-mobile'))     continue;    // assume tbody tags required   if (!$tbodies = $container->getelementsbytagname('tbody'))     continue;    // first tbody (there should not more)   if (!$tbodies->length || !$tbody = $tbodies->item(0))     continue;    foreach ($tbody->getelementsbytagname('tr') $tr) {     $i = 0;     $row = [];     $cells = $tr->getelementsbytagname('td');      // collect first count($field_names) cell values maximum     foreach ($field_names $name) {       if (!$td = $cells->item($i++))         break;       $row[$name] = trim($td->textcontent);     }      if ($row)       $result []= $row;   } }  var_dump($result); 

sample output

array(2) {   [0]=>   array(3) {     ["username"]=>     string(14) "randomusername"     ["phone"]=>     string(10) "0123456789"     ["status"]=>     string(6) "active"   }   [1]=>   array(3) {     ["username"]=>     string(15) "randomusername2"     ["phone"]=>     string(10) "0987654321"     ["status"]=>     string(6) "active"   } } 

no comments, code self-explanatory.

p.s.: in sense of parsing, html structure leaves lot desired.
