Get Links with simple html dom

Question

I'm trying to get links from the site.

"http://www.perfumesclub.com/es/perfume/mujer/c/"

For this use "user-agent" in simple html Sun.

But I get this error ..

Fatal error: Call to a member function find() on string in C:\Users\Desktop\www\funciones.php on line 448

This is my code:

Thanks^^

$url = 'http://www.perfumesclub.com/es/perfume/mujer/c/';

$option = array(
        'http' => array(
            'method' => 'GET',
            'header' => 'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)',
        )
);
$context = stream_context_create($option);
$html = new simple_html_dom();
$html = file_get_contents ($url, false, $context);


$perfumes = $html->find('.imageProductDouble');  --> this is line 448

foreach($perfumes as $perfume) {
            // Get the link

            $enlaces = "http://www.perfumesclub.com" . $perfume->href;
            echo $enlaces . "<br/>";
}

Answer 1

wrap your file_get_contents in str_get_html function

// method 1
$html = new simple_html_dom();
$html->load( file_get_contents ($url, false, $context) );
// or method 2
$html = str_get_html( file_get_contents ($url, false, $context) );

you're creating a new dom and assigning it to the variable $html, than reading the url returning the string and setting it to $html, thus overwriting your simple_html_dom instance, so when your invoking the find method you have a string instead of an object.

Answer 2

$html is a string after the call to file_get_contents. Try

$html = file_get_html($url);

OR use

$html = str_get_html($html);

after the call to file_get_contents.
