How to get anchor text using DomDocument?

Question

Let's say I have this html:

<a href="http://example.com">Test</a> 

I am parsing it using a dom document with this code:

 $dom = new DomDocument(); @$dom->loadHTML($html); $urls = $dom->getElementsByTagName('a'); 

And then I ran this code:

 foreach ($urls as $url) { //echo "<br> {$url->getAttribute('href')} , {$url->getAttribute('title')}"; foreach ($url->attributes as $a) { echo "<br>$a->name is $a->value"; } echo "<hr><br>"; } 

When I do this, I only see "href" as the url attribute, there is no way to get "anchor text" (in the above case, "Test"). How can I get anchor link text?

Answer 1

 foreach ($urls as $url) { $attributes = $url->attributes; echo "<br>$url->nodeValue is $attributes->href"; } 

Answer 2

Use DOMNode::$nodeValue :

 echo $url->nodeValue; 

Answer 3

The text "Test" is actually DOM node text, so you can get the content by going through the child nodes in $ url.
