I want to receive an array that contains all the h1 tag values from a text
Example, if this where the given input string:
hello
function getTextBetweenH1($string)
{
$pattern = "/<h1>(.*?)<\/h1>/";
preg_match_all($pattern, $string, $matches);
return ($matches[1]);
}
you could use simplehtmldom:
function getTextBetweenTags($string, $tagname) {
// Create DOM from string
$html = str_get_html($string);
$titles = array();
// Find all tags
foreach($html->find($tagname) as $element) {
$titles[] = $element->plaintext;
}
}
function getTextBetweenTags($string, $tagname){
$d = new DOMDocument();
$d->loadHTML($string);
$return = array();
foreach($d->getElementsByTagName($tagname) as $item){
$return[] = $item->textContent;
}
return $return;
}
Alternative to DOM. Use when memory is an issue.
$html = <<< HTML
<html>
<h1>hello<span>world</span></h1>
<p>random text</p>
<h1>title number two!</h1>
</html>
HTML;
$reader = new XMLReader;
$reader->xml($html);
while($reader->read() !== FALSE) {
if($reader->name === 'h1' && $reader->nodeType === XMLReader::ELEMENT) {
echo $reader->readString();
}
}
