Answer 1

I've converted all of the various methods your using to find various details (title etc.) to using XPath within the loaded document. This just makes things consistent.

The main thing I find is to have to work out a consistent way of fetching the details. In the page your using, each segment looks as though it's wrapped up in an <article> tag. So first fetch all of these tags, then using this as a base, looks for the various items your after.

Then building XPath expressions to locate them within each <article> means you can pick all of the relevant details per item. In XPath - you use the descendant axis ( descendant::... ) to indicate you want the nodes inside the context node (passed in as the last parameter to evaluate() )..

$main_url="http://programming.com";
$str = file_get_contents($main_url);

$doc = new DOMDocument;
libxml_use_internal_errors(true);
$doc->loadHTML($str);
$xp = new DOMXPath($doc);

$title = $doc->getElementsByTagName("title")[0]->textContent;
$description = $xp->evaluate("string(//meta[@name='description']/@content)");

echo $title.PHP_EOL;
echo $description.PHP_EOL;

$articles = $doc->getElementsByTagName('article');
$pageArticles = [];
foreach($articles as $article) {
    $articleTitle = $xp->evaluate("string(descendant::span[@title='Views'])", $article);
    $articleViews = $xp->evaluate("string(descendant::h2[@class='title'])", $article);
    $pageArticles[] = ["title" => $articleTitle, "views" => $articleViews];
}

print_r($pageArticles);

Which just gave me as output...
