it's more a try to get more reliable parser than the simple HTML DOM parser and more mature when it comes to really bad HTML.

It uses a syntax close to Perl HTML::Treebuilder.

How to use:

require_once('treebuilder.php');





$mytree = new Tree();


$mytree->parse_content('<div>Hello world</div>');


// or


$mytree->parse_file('http://www.google.com');


$mytree->parse_file('myfile.htm');





// To print HTML, just do:


echo $mytree;





// For those of you who familiar with HTML::Treebuilder, usage is almost the same. Implemented methods:





 // same as HTML::Element


Element->attr($attr, $value = null);


Element->tag($tag = null);


Element->look_down($keys);


Element->traverse($callback, $text_only=false);


Element->push_content($test_or_node, ..);


Element->unshift_content($test_or_node, ..);


Element->detach();


Element->preinsert($test_or_node, ..);


Element->postinsert($test_or_node, ..);


Element->right(); // returns right sibling if any


Element->left(); // returns left sibling if any


Element->pindex(); // returns index in parent's children array


Element->detach_content(); //detaches all children nodes and returns them


Element->detach_content(); //deletes all children nodes and returns self


Element->as_HTML();


Element->as_text();


// plus one additional method:


Element->seek_n_destroy($keys); // same as look_down()->__destruct();





// same as HTML::Treebuilder:


Tree->parse_content($content);


Tree->parse_file($filename_or_url);
