        <br>

I am using Simple Html Dom php library for scrapping. I want to scrap <b> tags with their anchor tags. Every <b> elements have their <a> anchor set. so I want to scrap like this

array(
       'Flash Player' => array( 'link1', 'link2' ),
       'Daiylymotion' => array('link1', 'link2', 'link3'),
       etc...
);

And this is what I am doing. First I escaped all <br> tags then loop on all <b> tags then I am trying to get next siblings of <b> tag by $b->next_sibling() but its not working because by escaping <br> tags index of elements not updated. Here is my code

$html = str_get_html($html);
$content = $html->find('div.postcontent',0);

   //escape all br
    foreach($content->find('br') as $br){
        $br->outertext = '';
    }

    foreach($content->find('b') as $key => $b){


        echo $b->plaintext;

    }

Please help me by scrapping <b> with their <a> tags with another strategy. thank you

Answer 1

I don't know if there is any other easier methods. But this code will give your desired output as long as each <b> tag has exactly two <a> tags following.

    $aCount = 0;
    $result = array();
    foreach($content->find('b') as $key => $b){
        $index = $b->plaintext;  
        for($i=0;$i<2;$i++){
            $result[$index][] = $content->find('a',$aCount++)->href;
        }       
    }  
    print_r($result);

The output will be like

Array
