Get contents of BODY without DOCTYPE, HTML, HEAD and BODY tags

Question

What I am trying to do is include an HTML file within a PHP system (not a problem) but that HTML file also needs to be usable on its own, for various reasons, so I need to know

Answer 1

Since the substr() method seemed to be too much for some to swallow, here is a DOM parser method:

$d = new DOMDocument;
$mock = new DOMDocument;
$d->loadHTML(file_get_contents('/path/to/my.html'));
$body = $d->getElementsByTagName('body')->item(0);
foreach ($body->childNodes as $child){
    $mock->appendChild($mock->importNode($child, true));
}

echo $mock->saveHTML();
