Take a website with PHP and then navigate it using jQuery

Question

I am creating a system in which I will need to capture the contents of a webpage using PHP and then parse it to extract specific tables, etc. Is there an easy way to do this using jQuery or would it be best to write a PHP function to retrieve data?

Answer 1

jQuery has nothing to do with PHP and cannot be run without a browser, so you're out of luck there.

However, there is phpQuery that allows parsing the DOM with jQuery selectors!

Answer 2

php php DOM xpath:

    $dom = new DOMDocument();
    @$dom->loadHTML($html);
    $x = new DOMXPath($dom);
    // grab all tables with id of foo
    foreach($x->query("//table[@id='foo']") as $node)
    {
        // here is the html
                    echo $node->c14n();
                    // grab the containing text 
                    echo $node->textContent()
    }
