simple html dom parser and <span>

Question

I hope anyone can help me with this.

I have an html code like this:

<div id="v4-95"><div id="v4-96" class="pview rs-pview"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2" class="grid"><tr><td width="33%" class="gallery"><a name="item19c368bcd6"></a><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="10" class="gallery"><tr><td class="picture camera" width="100%" height="140"><div class="image" style="width: 140px;"><a href="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SAMSUNG-LTN156AT02-15-6-LAPTOP-SCREEN-NEW-/110652603606?pt=UK_Computing_LaptopAccess_RL&amp;hash=item19c368bcd6" class="gpvi" id="src110652603606" _sp="p4634.c0.m14.l1262" r="1"><img alt="Item image" title="Item image" src="http://thumbs3.ebaystatic.com/m/mvOLm6Tv8Lid54uveSlY80A/140.jpg" border="0"></a></div></td></tr><tr><td><div class="mi"></div></td></tr><tr><td class="details"><div class="ttl g-std"><a id="src110652603606" _sp="p4634.c0.m14.l1262" r="1" href="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SAMSUNG-LTN156AT02-15-6-LAPTOP-SCREEN-NEW-/110652603606?pt=UK_Computing_LaptopAccess_RL&amp;hash=item19c368bcd6" target="_parent" title="SAMSUNG LTN156AT02 15.6&quot; LAPTOP SCREEN NEW">SAMSUNG LTN156AT02 15.6" LAPTOP SCREEN NEW</a><img src="http://q.ebaystatic.com/aw/pics/s.gif" width="16" alt="This seller accepts PayPal" height="16" class="ii iippl"></div><div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="fixed"><tr><td><img src="http://q.ebaystatic.com/aw/pics/bin_15x54.gif" alt="Buy It Now" title="Buy It Now"></td><td><span class="bin g-b">£41.50</span></td></tr>

I can retrive the title with this code:

 $html = file_get_html('http://stores.ebay.co.uk/LCD-Kings/15-6-/_i.html?_fsub=886314010&_sid=73271570&_trksid=p4634.c0.m322');
foreach($html->find('a') as $element) 
echo $element->title . '<br>';

But I don't understand how can I retrieve the £41,50 between the span and why it has a space in the class "bin gb"...

thanks for help...

It has a space in the class because that element has two classes. One is called bin, the other is called g-b. I'm guessing g-b refers to Great Britain so the price may be the span that has the class bin.

You haven't provided all the HTML but there may be an outer element that you can search for (such as: a div with id product and then, within that, find the price in the span with class bin).

You should lookup the documentation of your DOM parser and see what arguments it supports for find(). If it supports something like #product span.bin (or similar syntax) then you can select the span with that class.
