[PHP] HTML parser (maybe even HTML to BBCode)
Hi! I'm looking for fast HTML parser, witch can give me a tree of tags with their attributes. Maybe some one know a good HTML to BBCode parser, because that's exactly what i need. tried looking Google, doesn't helped much, still need to make a HTML to BBCode parser myself.

Re: [PHP] HTML parser (maybe even HTML to BBCode)
I saw it, it only converts BBCode to HTML. BBCode to HTML isn't a problem - a child can do that with str_replace and a little help of preg_replace for links and images. The trick is that i need a HTML to BBCode parser. 2007/12/20, Daniel Brown [EMAIL PROTECTED]: On Dec 20, 2007 10:30 AM, Arvids Godjuks [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi!

TidyHTML is supposed to be good at that. Never actually tried it, but
John Coggeshall's presentation a few months ago at the Chicago PHP User
Group meeting was pretty compelling.
If you only need a few small bits of information from web pages whose
format doesn't change often, you can maybe get it done really fast and
easy with http://php.net/explode.
I've scraped a lot of stuff that way myself.
You simply have to search the HTML for a distinctive tag that is unlikely
to change often and is shortly before the content you want.
Then use http://php.net/explode with that tag. For example, on a site
with calendar events, you might use:
?php
$file = file('http://example.com/');
$html = implode('', $file);
$parts = explode('td class=event_date', $html);
while (list(, $event) = each($parts)){
list($date, $speaker, $description) = explode('/td', $event);
//Prepend td because we stripped it off in 'explode' 3 lines above
$date = strip_tags(td $date);
$speaker = strip_tags($speaker);
$description = strip_tags($description);
//Double-check the data as a valid date,
//maybe even speaker/description as non-empty
//and either log error or insert to your database
}
?
MOST sites with content you want to scrape on a routine basis are pretty
predictable. CSS classes can be particularly useful to find the right
bits you want to scrap.
Occasionally I run across one where it's hand-edited and completely
unpredictable -- and usually not worth scraping, in my experience.

Re: [PHP] html parser
I was looking for one for AGES. There are a few bits on phpclasses.org, but they didn't suit MY needs. I actually decided to start writing my own, because I only needed to parse a VERY limited subset of HTML (just a few different tags). Justin French on 13/08/02 2:35 AM, Curtis A.
