DOMDocument::loadHTML - Load HTML from a string
SYNOPSIS
public bool DOMDocument::loadHTML (string $source, [int $options])
DESCRIPTION
The function parses the HTML contained in the string $source. Unlike loading XML, HTML does not have to be well-formed to load. This func-
tion may also be called statically to load and create a DOMDocument object. The static invocation may be used when no DOMDocument proper-
ties need to be set prior to loading.
PARAMETERS
o $source
- The HTML string.
o $options
- Since PHP 5.4.0 and Libxml 2.6.0, you may also use the $options parameter to specify additional Libxml parameters.
RETURN VALUES
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure. If called statically, returns a DOMDocument or FALSE on failure.
ERRORS
/EXCEPTIONS
If an empty string is passed as the $source, a warning will be generated. This warning is not generated by libxml and cannot be handled
using libxml's error handling functions.
This method may be called statically, but will issue an E_STRICT error.
While malformed HTML should load successfully, this function may generate E_WARNING errors when it encounters bad markup. libxml's error
handling functions may be used to handle these errors.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
Creating a Document
<?php
$doc = new DOMDocument();
$doc->loadHTML("<html><body>Test<br></body></html>");
echo $doc->saveHTML();
?>
