DOMDocument::loadHTMLFile — Load HTML from a file
The function parses the HTML document in the file named
filename. Unlike loading XML, HTML does not have
to be well-formed to load.
This function parses the input using an HTML 4 parser. The parsing rules of HTML 5, which is what modern web browsers use, are different. Depending on the input this might result in a different DOM structure. Therefore this function cannot be safely used for sanitizing HTML.
The behavior when parsing HTML can depend on the version of
libxml that is being used, particularly with regards to
edge conditions and error handling.
For parsing that conforms to the HTML5 specification,
use Dom\HTMLDocument::createFromString() or
Dom\HTMLDocument::createFromFile(), added in PHP 8.4.
As an example, some HTML elements will implicitly close a parent element when encountered. The rules for automatically closing parent elements differ between HTML 4 and HTML 5 and thus the resulting DOM structure that DOMDocument sees might be different from the DOM structure a web browser sees, possibly allowing an attacker to break the resulting HTML.
filenameThe path to the HTML file.
options
Bitwise OR
of the libxml option constants.
If an empty string is passed as the filename
or an empty file is named, a warning will be generated. This warning
is not generated by libxml and cannot be handled using libxml's error handling
functions.
Anche se un HTML malformato potrebbe essere caricato con successo, questa funzione può generare errori E_WARNING quando incontra un markup errato. le funzioni di gestione errore di libxml possono essere usate per gestire questi errori.
| Versione | Descrizione |

| 8.3.0 | This function now has a tentative bool return type. |

Calling this function statically will
now throw an Error.
Previously, an E_DEPRECATED was raised.

Example #1 Creating a Document
<?php
$doc = new DOMDocument();
$doc->loadHTMLFile("filename.html");
echo $doc->saveHTML();
?>
The options for surpressing errors and warnings will not work with this as they do for loadXML()
e.g.
<?php
$doc->loadHTMLFile($file, LIBXML_NOWARNING | LIBXML_NOERROR);
?>
will not work.
you must use:
<?php
libxml_use_internal_errors(true);
$doc->loadHTMLFile($file);
?>
and handle the exceptions as neccesarry.<?php
// try this html listing example for all nodes / includes a few getElementsByTagName options:
$file = $DOCUMENT_ROOT. "test.html";
$doc = new DOMDocument();
$doc->loadHTMLFile($file);
// example 1:
$elements = $doc->getElementsByTagName('*');
// example 2:
$elements = $doc->getElementsByTagName('html');
// example 3:
//$elements = $doc->getElementsByTagName('body');
// example 4:
//$elements = $doc->getElementsByTagName('table');
// example 5:
//$elements = $doc->getElementsByTagName('div');
if (!is_null($elements)) {
foreach ($elements as $element) {
echo "<br/>". $element->nodeName. ": ";
$nodes = $element->childNodes;
foreach ($nodes as $node) {
echo $node->nodeValue. "\n";
}
}
}
?>This puts the HTML into a DOM object which can be parsed by individual tags, attributes, etc.. Here is an example of getting all the 'href' attributes and corresponding node values out of the 'a' tag. Very cool....
<?php
$myhtml = <<<EOF
<html>
<head>
<title>My Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<p><a href="/mypage1">Hello World!</a></p>
<p><a href="/mypage2">Another Hello World!</a></p>
</body>
</html>
EOF;
$doc = new DOMDocument();
$doc->loadHTML($myhtml);
$tags = $doc->getElementsByTagName('a');
foreach ($tags as $tag) {
echo $tag->getAttribute('href').' | '.$tag->nodeValue."\n";
}
?>
This should output:
/mypage1 | Hello World!
/mypage2 | Another Hello World!In this post http://softontherocks.blogspot.com/2014/11/descargar-el-contenido-de-una-url_11.html I found a simple way to get the content of a URL with DOMDocument, loadHTMLFile and saveHTML().
function getURLContent($url){
$doc = new DOMDocument;
$doc->preserveWhiteSpace = FALSE;
@$doc->loadHTMLFile($url);
return $doc->saveHTML();
}
