simple_html_dom finding input in html commented section

Question

I need to find an html input that is in an html commented section

<!-- <input type="hidden" name="ab_cde" value="12345" /> -->

the code

foreach($html->find('input') as $element) 
    {   

    }

is not working to find it. How can it be done?

I suppose it does, but I guess the commentaries can't be treated as html but as a string? — Pablo

Ok, got the answer from the post, I apply that and then $doc = new DOMDocument(); $doc->loadHTML(string); . Thanks! — Pablo

Yep, comments are comments, there's no reason to assume there is HTML in there. You can of course parse the comment again or look for HTML markers. — Halcyon

you can do via $html->find('comment') and then use an regular expression for your input in there or initialize the comments content as another html object (http://php.net/manual/en/domdocument.loadhtml.php) to be searched like you tried before.
