What is the fastest way to convert html table to php array?

Question

Are there any built-in functions in the latest php versions specifically designed to help with this task?

Answer 1

Use a DOM parser, such as SimpleXML , to break the HTML code into nodes and go through the nodes to build an array.

For broken / invalid HTML, SimpleHTMLDOM is softer (but not inline).
