Using DOMDocument PHP

Question

I have managed to drill down to the element that I want. Here is an example of the html markup

<p> <strong> Title foo </strong> foo bar foo bar </p>

Is there a way to check if the string of a node contains <strong> or <b> etc? Is there a way to do this with DOMDocument or would I have to implement an xpath solution??

Thanks.

Try looking at the textContent property of the node. Watch out, textContent searches both the node and all descendants. If you need a precise match and don't want to crawl the tree yourself, then a xpath solution would probably be faster.

You can use a regular expression to check whether the string you are looking for is included in the content of the node.
