Parse between comments in Simple HTML Dom

Question

Can I fetch the data between two html comments using Simple HTML Dom ??

For example, See the below code:

<!-- start of comment -->

<a href="link1.html" target="_blank">link1</a><br />
<a href="link2.html" target="_blank">link2</a><br />
<a href="link3.html" target="_blank">link3</a><br />
<a href="link4.html" target="_blank">link4</a><br />


<!-- end of comment-->

<a href="link5.html" target="_blank">link5</a><br />
<a href="link6.html" target="_blank">link6</a><br />

There are totally six links and only 4 links are enclosed within a "" and "" tags.

I just want to get the links between the comment tags.

You can do this:

//get all comments
$comments = $html->find('comment');

...and use next_sibling() to get next element and check if it's an anchor tag till you get another comment tag, where the script will terminate.

Try this code

$dom = new DOMDocument();
$dom->loadHTML($html);

$elements = $dom->getElementsByTagName('a');
foreach ($elements as $child) {
    echo $child->nodeValue;
}

This returns all anchors, not only the ones between comments
