PHP Simple HTML Dom Question.

[abrokenshingle]

I just need to grab the page title; whatever is between <title>and</title> and echo it back out.

I'm fine with pulling the data, its just this parsing example that I need.

I cant seem to get the syntax right. I have no experience with DOM or SHD, can someone give me a hint?

you can use xpath, but...

if(preg_match('/<title>(.*?)<\/title>/',$page,$match)) {
  echo $match[1];
}else {
  echo 'title could not be scraped';
}

... is the quick 'n durrty way.

PHP Simple HTML DOM Parser Is really good.
Not tested, but:

include 'simple_html_dom.php';
// Create DOM from URL or file
$html = file_get_html('http://www.google.com/');

// echo Title
echo $html->find('title', 0)->plaintext;

Ah, I thought Simple Dom would have some magic method for me. Kind of calls into question my whole reason for using it.

Thanks for the help.

Thanks, this is what I wanted to do.
