Wrappers around the PHP DOM classes that handle the common DOM extension pitfalls.
- HTML documents
- encoding sniffing
- optional tidy support (automatically fix broken HTML)
- HTML fragments
- XML documents
- XML fragments
- XPath queries
- creating documents from scratch
- optional error suppression
- helper methods for common tasks, such as:
- querying multiple or a single node
- checking for containment
- removing a node
- removing all nodes from a list
- prepending a child node
- inserting a node after another node
- fetching
<head>and<body>elements (HTML) - fetching root elements (XML)
- PHP 7.1+
These methods are shared by both HTML and XML containers.
<?php
use Kuria\Dom\HtmlDocument; // or XmlDocument, HtmlFragment, etc.
// using loadString()
$dom = new HtmlDocument();
$dom->setLibxmlFlags($customLibxmlFlags); // optional
$dom->setIgnoreErrors($ignoreErrors); // optional
$dom->loadString($html);
// using static loadString() shortcut
$dom = HtmlDocument::fromString($html);
// using existing document instance
$dom = new HtmlDocument();
$dom->loadDocument($document);
// using static loadDocument() shortcut
$dom = HtmlDocument::fromDocument($document);
// creating an empty document
$dom = new HtmlDocument();
$dom->loadEmpty();<?php
// get encoding
$encoding = $dom->getEncoding();
// set encoding
$dom->setEncoding($newEncoding);Note
The DOM extension uses UTF-8 encoding.
This means that text nodes, attributes, etc.:
- will be encoded using UTF-8 when read (e.g.
$elem->textContent) - should be encoded using UTF-8 when written (e.g.
$elem->setAttribute())
The encoding configured by setEncoding() is used when saving the document, see Saving documents.
<?php
// entire document
$content = $dom->save();
// single element
$content = $dom->save($elem);
// children of a single element
$content = $dom->save($elem, true);After a document has been loaded, the DOM instances are available via getters:
<?php
$document = $dom->getDocument();
$xpath = $dom->getXpath();<?php
// get a DOMNodeList
$divs = $dom->query('//div');
// get a single DOMNode (or null)
$div = $dom->query('//div');
// check if a query matches
$divExists = $dom->exists('//div');<?php
$escapedString = $dom->escape($string);Helpers for commonly needed tasks that aren't easily achieved via existing DOM methods:
<?php
// check if the document contains a node
$hasNode = $dom->contains($node);
// check if a node contains another node
$hasNode = $dom->contains($node, $parentNode);
// remove a node
$dom->remove($node);
// remove a list of nodes
$dom->removeAll($nodes);
// prepend a child node
$dom->prependChild($newNode, $existingNode);
// insert a node after another node
$dom->insertAfter($newNode, $existingNode);<?php
use Kuria\Dom\HtmlDocument;
$html = <<<HTML
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Example document</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Hello world!</h1>
</body>
</html>
HTML;
$dom = HtmlDocument::fromString($html);
var_dump($dom->queryOne('//title')->textContent);
var_dump($dom->queryOne('//h1')->textContent);Output:
string(16) "Example document"
string(12) "Hello world!"Optionally, the markup can be fixed by Tidy prior to being loaded.
<?php
$dom = new HtmlDocument();
$dom->setTidyEnabled(true);
$dom->loadString($html);Note
HTML documents ignore errors by default, so there is no need to call $dom->setIgnoreErrors(true).
<?php
use Kuria\Dom\HtmlDocument;
// initialize empty document
$dom = new HtmlDocument();
$dom->loadEmpty(['formatOutput' => true]);
// add <title>
$title = $dom->getDocument()->createElement('title');
$title->textContent = 'Lorem ipsum';
$dom->getHead()->appendChild($title);
// save
echo $dom->save();Output:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>Lorem ipsum</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html><?php
use Kuria\Dom\HtmlFragment;
$dom = HtmlFragment::fromString('<div id="test"><span>Hello</span></div>');
$element = $dom->queryOne('/div[@id="test"]/span');
if ($element) {
var_dump($element->textContent);
}Output:
string(5) "Hello"Note
HTML fragments ignore errors by default, so there is no need to call $dom->setIgnoreErrors(true).
<?php
use Kuria\Dom\HtmlFragment;
// initialize empty fragment
$dom = new HtmlFragment();
$dom->loadEmpty(['formatOutput' => true]);

$link = $dom->getDocument()->createElement('a');
$link->setAttribute('href', 'http://example.com/');
