I have the following html:
<html>
<body>
bla bla bla bla
<div id="myDiv">
more text
<div id="anotherDiv">
And even more text
</div>
</div>
bla bla bla
</body>
</html>
I want to remove everything starting from <div id="anotherDiv"> until its closing <div>. How do I do that?
u can use preg_replace like :
$string = preg_replace('/<div id="someid'[^>]+\>/i', "", $string);
You can also use Simple HTML DOM for that.
A HTML DOM parser written in PHP5+ let you manipulate HTML in a very easy way!
With native DOM
$dom = new DOMDocument;
$dom->loadHTML($htmlString);
$xPath = new DOMXPath($dom);
$nodes = $xPath->query('//*[@id="anotherDiv"]');
if($nodes->item(0)) {
$nodes->item(0)->parentNode->removeChild($nodes->item(0));
}
echo $dom->saveHTML();
