DOMDocument::loadHTML
(PHP 5)
DOMDocument::loadHTML — Load HTML from a string
Description
$source
)
The function parses the HTML contained in the string source.
Unlike loading XML, HTML does not have to be well-formed to load. This
function may also be called statically to load and create a
DOMDocument object. The static invocation may be
used when no DOMDocument properties need to be
set prior to loading.
Parameters
-
source -
The HTML string.
Return Values
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure. If called statically, returns a
DOMDocument or FALSE on failure.
Errors/Exceptions
If an empty string is passed as the source,
a warning will be generated. This warning is not generated by libxml
and cannot be handled using libxml's error handling functions.
This method may be called statically, but will issue an E_STRICT error.
While malformed HTML should load successfully, this function may generate E_WARNING errors when it encounters bad markup. libxml's error handling functions may be used to handle these errors.
Examples
Example #1 Creating a Document
<?php
$doc = new DOMDocument();
$doc->loadHTML("<html><body>Test<br></body></html>");
echo $doc->saveHTML();
?>
