Answer 1

The problem is that the first row of the table doesn't have an <img> , because it's the row of headings, so $div->find("img", 0) returns null . You get the first error when you try to access null->src .

The second error is because $div is the <tr> element. $div->find("tr") searches the children of $div , it doesn't include $div itself, so it always returns null . Also, this code won't work in the heading row, either, because it contains <th> rather than <tr> elements.

You could just skip over the heading row by putting:

array_shift($doctorDivs);

before the foreach loop. This will remove the first element of the array.

And change $details to :

$details = $div->find("td");
