Fetch Content from A Div id using PHP Simple HTML DOM Parser

Question

I have following html code

<div id="b_changetext" class="FL gL_13 PT15"> <span class="gr_15 uparw_pc"><strong>5.80</strong></span> (+2.28%)</div>

I wanted to extract content (+2.28%) Tried following code

foreach($html->find('div[n_changetext]') as $e){
      echo $e->innertext . '<br>';
    echo "wwwwww";
}

On running it does not enter the for loop . ( "wwwwww" is not displayed)

Can anyone please suggest a solution

find('div#n_changetext') you can use dash for id selector and dot for a class — Anass

div[n_changetext] finds elements with an n_changetext attribute (which is not valid in HTML).

To find an element with a given id you must specify that the name of the attribute is id and specify the value.

The value, in your example, starts with a b not an n:

find('div[id=b_changetext]')

I have changed to find('div[id=b_changetext]') as you suggested but still it does not work. It does not enter the loop.

<?php include('simple_html_dom.php'); $html = str_get_html('moneycontrol.com/india/stockpricequote/…); foreach($html->find('div[id=n_changetext]') as $e){ echo $e->innertext . '<br>'; echo "wwwwww"; } echo "ssssssssssss"; ?>

str_get_html expects to be passed a string of HTML, not a URL.

There's an example on the homepage of the PHP Simple HTML DOM Parser site!
