I have an HTML code where there are attributes like @click, @autocomplete:change used by some JS libraries.
When I parse the HTML using DOMDocument, these attributes are removed.
Sample code:
<?php
$content = <<<'EOT'
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en">
    <head></head>
    <body>
        <a role="tab" @click="activeType=listingType"></a>
        <input type="text" @autocomplete:change="handleAutocomplete">
    </body>
</html>
EOT;
// creating new document
$doc = new DOMDocument('1.0', 'utf-8');
$doc->recover = true;
$doc->strictErrorChecking = false;
//turning off some errors
libxml_use_internal_errors(true);
// it loads the content without adding enclosing html/body tags and also the doctype declaration
$doc->LoadHTML($content, LIBXML_HTML_NOIMPLIED | LIBXML_HTML_NODEFDTD);
echo $doc->saveHTML();
?>
Output:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en">
    <head></head>
    <body>
        <a role="tab"></a>
        <input type="text">
    </body>
</html>
                If there's no way to make DOMDocument accept @ in attribute names, we can replace @ with a special string before loadHTML(), and replace back after saveHTML()
<?php
$content = <<<'EOT'
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en">
    <head></head>
    <body>
        <a role="tab" @click="activeType=listingType"></a>
        <input type="text" @autocomplete:change="handleAutocomplete">
    </body>
</html>
EOT;
// creating new document
$doc = new DOMDocument('1.0', 'utf-8');
$doc->recover = true;
$doc->strictErrorChecking = false;
//turning off some errors
libxml_use_internal_errors(true);
$content = str_replace('@', 'at------', $content);
// it loads the content without adding enclosing html/body tags and also the doctype declaration
$doc->LoadHTML($content, LIBXML_HTML_NOIMPLIED | LIBXML_HTML_NODEFDTD);
$html = $doc->saveHTML();
$html = str_replace('at------', '@', $html);
echo $html;
output:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en">
    <head></head>
    <body>
        <a role="tab" @click="activeType=listingType"></a>
        <input type="text" @autocomplete:change="handleAutocomplete">
    </body>
</html>
