Removing DocDocument warning while parsing page content

Question

I am trying to parse the content of any url. Which should not content any html code. This works fine, but gives bunch of error while reading the content on url given. How to

Answer 1

You can use libxml_use_internal_errors() and do the following:

libxml_use_internal_errors(true);
$doc->loadHTMLFile($url);
libxml_clear_errors();

As Peehaa noted in the comments below, it's a good idea to reset the state of errors. You can do it as below:

$errors = libxml_use_internal_errors(true); //store
$doc->loadHTMLFile($url);
libxml_clear_errors();
libxml_use_internal_errors($errors); //reset back to previous state

Here's how it works:

• libxml_use_internal_errors() tells libxml to handle the errors and warnings internally, and that it shouldn't be outputted to the browser. Also store the current state of errors in a variable
• then you load the HTML file with loadHTML() method
• clear the error buffer with libxml_clear_errors
• restores the old state of error values
