Get Div property using PHP Simple HTML DOM Parser

Question

I'm able to get anchor's property href using PHP Simple HTML DOM Parser by using following code

foreach($page->find('a') as $anchor){
    echo trim(strip_tags($anchor->href));  
}

This is working absolutely fine. But Here is the issue, Now I've to get the data-cursor property of div

<div class = 'someClass' data-cursor = '4515314844'>
    some contents here..
</div>

but if I try the same approach, as mentioned above, this throws an error

foreach($page->find('div') as $div){
    echo trim(strip_tags($div->data-cursor));  
}

Error: Use of undefined constant cursor - assumed 'cursor'

Thanks.

Error: Use of undefined constant cursor - assumed 'cursor'

That should tell you that PHP isn't parsing your code correctly because of the hyphen. It's reading 'data' then the hyphen is throwing it off. Try surrounding it like this:

$div->{'data-cursor'}

To access the hypenated property properly, you need to do this:

$div->{'data-cursor'}

Would look like this:

echo trim(strip_tags($div->{'data-cursor'}));
