Get content of multiple div tags with same class name

Question

I read this article - Get DIV content from external Website . I get source of website with file_get_contents() function and I have to extract from it content of two divs with same class name.

I have very similar problem, but with divs with same class name. E.g. I have code like that:

<div class="baaa">
Some conete
</div>
<div class="baaa">
Second Content
</div>

I want to get both content of both these divs. Solution accepted in article I linked support only one. My expected result is array like this:

$divs[0] = "Some conete"
$divs[1] = "Second Content"

Please give me advice what to do. I read about DOMDocument class, but have no idea how to use it.

Use each function in JQuery to get value of all div tags. `$(".baaa").each(function(){}); — bcesars

i have used the simple html dom parser and your content can be extracted as

$html = file_get_html('your html file link');
$k=1;
foreach($html->find('div.baaa') as $e){
        $divs[$k]=$e;
        $k++;
    }
echo $divs[1]."<br>";
echo $divs[2];

You could use XPath. XPath is a query language for XML. There are PHP functions that support Xpath. For you the example could be:

File test.html:

<html>
<body>
<div class="baaa">
Some conete
</div>
<div class="baaa">
Second Content
</div>
</body>
</html>

The php code that extracts contents of divs with the class "baaa"

$xml = simplexml_load_file('test.html');
$data = $xml->xpath('//div[@class="baaa"]/text()');
foreach($data as $row) {
    printf($row);
}

generates the following output:

Some conete
Second Content

Look for XPath tutorials if you need more complex searching or analyzing.

Try it with your data:

$file_contents = file_get_contents('http://address.com');
preg_match_all('/<div class=\"baaa\">(.*?)<\/div>/s',$file_contents,$matches);
print_r($matches);

BTW: Polska rządzi :)

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
    $('.baaa').each(function(){
        alert($(this).text());
    });
});
</script>

<div class="baaa">
Some conete
</div>
<div class="baaa">
Second Content
</div>
