// Create a DOM object from a string

// Create a DOM object from a URL
$html = file_get_html('http://www.google.com/');

// Create a DOM object from a HTML file
$html = file_get_html('test.htm');

// Create a DOM object
$html = new simple_html_dom();

// Load HTML from a string
$html->load('<html><body>Hello!</body></html>');

// Load HTML from a URL
$html->load_file('http://www.google.com/');

// Load HTML from a HTML file

// Find all anchors, returns a array of element objects
$ret = $html->find('a');

// Find (N)thanchor, returns element object or null if not found(zero based)
$ret = $html->find('a', 0);

// Find all <div> which attribute id=foo
$ret = $html->find('div[id=foo]');

// Find all <div> with the id attribute

Supports these operators in attribute selectors:

[attribute] Matches elements that have the specified attribute.
[attribute=value] Matches elements that have the specified attribute with a certain value.
[attribute!=value] Matches elements that don't have the specified attribute with a certain value.
[attribute^=value] Matches elements that have the specified attribute and it starts with a certain value.
[attribute$=value] Matches elements that have the specified attribute and it ends with a certain value.
[attribute*=value] Matches elements that have the specified attribute and it contains a certain value.

// Find all text blocks
$es = $html->find('text');

// Find all comment (<!--...-->) blocks
$es = $html->find('comment');

// Get a attribute ( If the attribute is non-value attribute (eg. checked, selected...), it will returns true or false)
$value = $e->href;

// Set a attribute(If the attribute is non-value attribute (eg. checked, selected...), set it's value as true or false)
$e->href = 'my link';

// Remove a attribute, set it's value as null!
$e->href = null;

// Determine whether a attribute exist?
if(isset($e->href))
echo 'href exist!';

// Example
$html = str_get_html("<div>foo <b>bar</b></div>");
$e = $html->find("div", 0);

echo $e->tag; // Returns: " div"
echo $e->outertext; // Returns: " <div>foo <b>bar</b></div>"
echo $e->innertext; // Returns: " foo <b>bar</b>"
echo $e->plaintext; // Returns: " foo bar"

$e->tag Read or write the tag name of element.
$e->outertext Read or write the outer HTML text of element.
$e->innertext Read or write the inner HTML text of element.
$e->plaintext Read or write the plain text of element.

// Extract contents from HTML
echo $html->plaintext;

// Wrap a element
$e->outertext = '<div class="wrap">' . $e->outertext . '<div>';

// Remove a element, set it's outertext as an empty string
$e->outertext = '';

// Append a element
$e->outertext = $e->outertext . '<div>foo<div>';

// Insert a element
$e->outertext = '<div>foo<div>' . $e->outertext;

// If you are not so familiar with HTML DOM, check this link to learn more...

// Example
echo $html->find("#div1", 0)->children(1)->children(1)->children(2)->id;
// or
echo $html->getElementById("div1")->childNodes(1)->childNodes(1)->childNodes(2)->getAttribute('id');
You can also call methods with Camel naming convertions.
