Loop over DOMDocument

Question

I am following the suggestion from this question Robust, Mature HTML Parser for PHP, about parsing html that may be malformed with DOMDocument.

Is there any easy way to loop over the parsed document? So I would like to loop over html like this.

$html='<ul>          <li>value1</li>          <li>value1</li>          <li>value3             <p>subvalue</p>          </li>         </ul>         <p>hello world</p>';  $doc = new DOMDocument(); $doc->loadHTML($html); ??? foreach (??? as $node) {   print $node->nodeName.':'.$node->nodeValue; } 

And get results somewhat like this.

 ul:  li:value1  li:value2  li:value3  p:subvalue  p:hello world 

Using $doc->childNodes by itself doesn't really do what I want. Since it doesn't seem to go down to lower branches in the tree. I used the code suggested by halfdan and I get results like this.

html: html:value1          value1          value3             subvalue          hello world

Try this:

$doc = new DOMDocument(); $doc->loadHTML($html); showDOMNode($doc);  function showDOMNode(DOMNode $domNode) {     foreach ($domNode->childNodes as $node)     {         print $node->nodeName.':'.$node->nodeValue;         if($node->hasChildNodes()) {             showDOMNode($node);         }     }     }
