How do I display more elements with simple_html_dom? The code I have right now works great, but.... It only loops the portfolio-caption. I want to display more items then Caption / Category. My problem is, the items I want to display are not in the div with the class portfolio-caption ( it's outside the div ). I tried to replace portfolio-caption with body but then it only loops once.

// Include the php dom parser    
include_once 'simple_html_dom.php';

// Create DOM from URL or file

$html = file_get_html('http://blackrockdigital.github.io/startbootstrap-agency/');
$items = array();
// Find all links 
foreach($html->find('div.portfolio-item .portfolio-caption') as $element) {
    $items[] = array(
        'Caption' => $element->find('h4', 0)->innertext,
        'Category' => $element->find('p', 0)->innertext
    );
}

foreach($items as $result){
    echo $result['Caption'];
    echo $result['Category'];
}

I don't have a idea how to do it. Maybe make a foreach for every element? But that is a mess.

You could use regex in your $html->find() ? – Gauthier May 27 '16 at 07:32
@splash58 I just want elements from the whole page. – hello123 May 27 '16 at 07:37
@Gauthier I got told you shouldn't use regex with html, is that true? – hello123 May 27 '16 at 07:38
@hello123 `$es = $html->find('*'); foreach ($es as $s) echo $e->outertext . "\n";` – splash58 May 27 '16 at 07:41
I don't think there is any rule "Don't use regex with html". Each case is diferent. – Gauthier May 27 '16 at 08:14
