I'm using simplehtmldom to parse html and I'm stuck in parsing plaintext located outside of any tag (but between two different tags):
<div class="text_small">
<b>Аdress:</b> 7 Hange Road<br>
<b>Phone:</b> 415641587484<br>
<b>Contact:</b> Alex<br>
<b>Meeting Time:</b> 12:00-13:00<br>
</div>
Is it possible to get these values of Adress, Phone, Contact, Meeting Time? I wonder if there is a opportunity to pass CSS Selectors into nextSibling/previousSibling functions...
foreach($html->find('div.text_small') as $div_descr)
{
foreach($div_descr->find('b') as $b)
{
if ($b->innertext=="Аdress:") {//someaction
}
if ($b->innertext=="Phone:") { //someaction
}
if ($b->innertext=="Contact:") { //someaction
}
if ($b->innertext=="Meeting Time:") { //someaction
}
}
}
What I should use instead "someaction" ?
upd. Yes, I don't have an access for editing the target page. Otherwise, would it be worth to? :)

There might be a much simpler solution. (maybe using something else than simple_html_dom)
I haven't found a suitable selector and nextSibling() only returns the next sibling element. (Which is a bit strange. simple_html_dom_node stores two arrays, $children and $nodes. Textnodes are in $nodes but not in $children. And next_sibling() operates on $children).
But since $nodes is a public property of simple_html_dom_node you write some iterator yourself.
<?php
require_once 'simplehtmldom/simple_html_dom.php';
$html = str_get_html('<html><head><title>...</title></head><body>
<div class="text_small">
<b>Adress:</b> 9 Hange Road<br>
<b>Phone:</b> 999641587484<br>
<b>Contact:</b> Alex<br>
<b>Meeting Time:</b> 12:00-13:00<br>
</div>
<div class="text_small">
<b>Adress:</b> 8 Hange Road<br>
<b>Phone:</b> 888641587484<br>
<b>Contact:</b> Bob<br>
<b>Meeting Time:</b> 13:00-14:00<br>
</div>
</body></html>');
foreach($html->find('div.text_small') as $div) {
$result = parseEntry($div);
foreach($result as $r) {
echo "'$r[name]' - '$r[text]'\n";
}
echo "========\n";
}
function parseEntry(simple_html_dom_node $div) {
$result = array();
$current = null;
for($i=0; $i<count($div->nodes); $i++) {
if ( HDOM_TYPE_ELEMENT===$div->nodes[$i]->nodetype) {
if ( !is_null($current) ) {
$result[] = $current;
$current = null;
}
if ('b'===$div->nodes[$i]->tag) {
$current = array('name'=>$div->nodes[$i]->text(), 'text'=>'');
}
}
else if (HDOM_TYPE_TEXT===$div->nodes[$i]->nodetype && !is_null($current)) {
$current['text'] .= $div->nodes[$i]->text();
}
}
if ( !is_null($current) ) {
$result[] = $current;
}
return $result;
}
prints
'Adress:' - ' 9 Hange Road'
'Phone:' - ' 999641587484'
'Contact:' - ' Alex'
'Meeting Time:' - ' 12:00-13:00'
========
'Adress:' - ' 8 Hange Road'
'Phone:' - ' 888641587484'
'Contact:' - ' Bob'
'Meeting Time:' - ' 13:00-14:00'
========
Until someone else finds a simpler solution you might want to use this as a starting point.
