You forgot to use str_get_html() function on $html variable from sipmle_dom_html library:

$response=getHTML("https://billing.te.eg/Arabic/BillStatus.aspx?Acc=A4000917512",10);
$html = str_get_html($response);

when working with https pages you may also need to use inside your function:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false);

@anantkumarsingh i try it and working good but with this site not work `https://billing.te.eg/Arabic/BillStatus.aspx?Acc=A4000917512` show me this error `Warning: file_get_contents(https://billing.te.eg/Arabic/BillStatus.aspx?Acc=A4000917512) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream` – omar dealo Apr 04 '15 at 19:05
you may need to add following fields: curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false); to work with https pages – samrockon Apr 04 '15 at 19:43
yeah it's working now as well , now how i can get data by element `span` and `id` like `02-26981106` or `19.30` – omar dealo Apr 04 '15 at 20:38
