Is there a clean way to parse HTML?

What is the best way to parse an HTML file in PHP?

• I have html file, it has many <p> tags ie:-       <p>content 1</p>       <p>content 2</p>       <p>content 3</p> how can i read all <p> tag elements  data and store in an array for example my output should be like this :        array(             [0]=>content 1             [1]=>content 2             [2]=>content 3                    )

• Answer:

  Although you can do it by hand by writing your own parser, take a look at this library that S.C. Chen graciously shares: http://simplehtmldom.sourceforge.net/ Your code will look something like this: // Create DOM from URL or file $html_text = "<p>some html</p>"; $html = file_get_html(str_get_html($html_text)); // Find all paragraphs (P elements) foreach($html->find('p') as $element) echo $element->innertext . '<br>';
