Htmlpurifier, third-party glut

Question

UPDATE 2: http://htmlpurifier.org/phorum/read.php?3,5088,5113 The author has already identified the problem.

UPDATE: the problem seems exceptional for version 4.2.0. I lowered the rating to 4.1.0 and it works. Thanks for your help. Package author notified.

I read a few pages, for example:

http://form.horseracing.betfair.com/horse-racing/010108/Catterick_Bridge-GB-Cat/1215

According to the W3C validation, this is really XHTML Strict.

Then I use http://htmlpurifier.org/ to clear the HTML before loading into the DOMDocument. However, it returns only one line of content.

Output:

12:15 Catterick Bridge - Tuesday 1st January 2008 - Timeform | Betfair 

code:

 echo $content; # all good $purifier = new \HTMLPurifier(); $content = $purifier->purify($content); echo $content; # all bad 

BTW works for data received from another site, just as you say, it leaves a header for all pages from this domain.

Answer 1

You do not need an HTML cleaner. The DOMDocument class takes care of everything for you. However, this will result in an invalid html warning, so just do the following:

 $doc = new DOMDocument(); @$doc->loadHTML($content); 

Then the error will not be triggered, and you can do what you want using HTML.

If you clear links, I would recommend that you use SimpleXMLElement :: xpath (); This is much easier than working with DOMDocument. Another example:

 $xml = new SimpleXMLElement($content); $result = $xml->xpath('a/@href'); print_r($result); 

You can get much more complex xpaths that allow you to specify class names, identifiers, and other attributes. This is much more powerful than DOMDocument.
