I have a xml file, where some of the paragraphs do have tag inside.
I am trying to echo the requested strings but the nodeValue ignores the tag and the string is echoed without a break.
Example:
This is the teaser from the xls file: <xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <body> <div> <p>-This is the first part of the string.<br/>-This is the second part of the string</p> </div> </body>
Thatâs because innerHTML is not part of the DOM (rather than a JS convenience method). so you would have to create a work around specific to the implementation.
Thank you all, guys, Iâll try the innerHTML and will see. I thought innerHtml will handle only the HTML tag inside of an another HTML tag, not the whole content including strings.
Yep, Iâve just realised this. Iâm trying to figure this out, recently playing with regular patterns, maybe this could help me, but if someone would find an easy solution, how to get the sentences split into two lines, Iâd be very greatful.
$ex = <<<HTML
<body>
<div>
<p>-This is the first part of the string.<br>-This is the second part of the string</p>
</div>
</body>
HTML;
// load HTML string
$doc = new DOMDocument;
$doc->loadHTML($ex);
// get first paragraph
$p = $doc->getElementsByTagName('p')->item(0);
// convert DOMNodeList to array to run it through the array functions
$children = iterator_to_array($p->childNodes);
// filter off anything that is not a text node
$text = array_filter($children, function (DOMNode $node) {
return $node->nodeType === XML_TEXT_NODE;
});
// convert text nodes to text strings
$text = array_map(function (DOMText $node) {
return $node->data;
}, $text);
// voila
print_r($text);
Well, obviously that only works as intended as long as there are only empty child elements inside.
<?php
declare(strict_types=1);
error_reporting(-1);
ini_set('display_errors', '1');
//===========================================================
function extractP($remaining="extractP()", $pStart="<p ", $pEnd="</p>")
{
$iStart = strpos($remaining, $pStart); // 51
$iEnd = strpos($remaining, $pEnd); // 135
if($iStart):
echo substr($remaining, $iStart, $iEnd +4 - $iStart);
$remaining = substr($remaining, $iEnd+4);
else:
$remaining = NULL;
endif;
return $remaining;
}///==================================================================
$test = <<< ____TMP
<xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<body>
<div>
<p>-This is the first part of the string.<br/>-This is the second part of the string</p>
<h1> h1 - This will be ignored </h1>
<p style="color:green;">-THIS IS THE FIRST PART OF THE STRING.<BR/><span style="color:red;">red</span><br>-THIS IS THE SECOND PART OF THE STRING</p>
<h2> h2 - This will be ignored </h2>
</div>
</body>
____TMP;
$title = 'title goes here';
$page = <<< ____TMP
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title> $title </title>
</head>
<body>
____TMP;
echo $page;
echo '<h1>' .$title .'</h1>';
echo '<hr>';
$remaining = $test;
while ($remaining):
$remaining = extractP( $remaining, '<p', '</p>' );
endwhile;
echo '</body></html>';
**Output:**

@John_Betong just be aware that this needs XML conformance of the HTML code. a missing </p>âwhich is valid in HTMLâwill make it show unintended text.
The function could be amended to check if $iStart is valid and has no corresponding $iEnd value. Another test for alternative p ending values could be performed.
Currently tapping on a tablet and not easy to test if search for valid HTML scripts without a closing tag. I am guessing that another opening p tag will close the previous tag?
Also upon reflection I think a problem could arise if another p tag is opened immediately after the the first closing p tag. Hopefully check tomorrow.
