any html/css parsing library for ruby & PHP?

Question

I am about to finish my script that parses/scrapes website using mechanize&ruby.

I need to port my script to PHP in the future.

My question is

if there is any library available for both ruby and php or
if anybody can recommend any other approach to this?

There's no PHP equivalent of Ruby and Mechanize.

However, Zend_Framework offers some great scraping-related libraries including

Zend_URI and Zend_HTTP_Client
Zend_Dom

As standard, PHP comes with several tools for parsing XML (and the DOM one can cope with a lot of badly formed HTML)

See

For DOM manipulation in PHP use the DOMDocument class

Simple and easy :)
