php getting value from DIV tag

Question

I have a code like this.

<form id="mainForm" method="post" action="">
<div id="info">6.897882999999999, 79.92221100000006</div>
<input id="submit" type="submit" name="submit" value="submit"/>
</form>

I want to assign div tag value (6.897882999999999, 79.92221100000006) to php variable using div id . Is it possible. if yes, how to do this. thanks

you "have" code like this? where? rendered in the browser? as a string in your code? in a file on the filesystem? — NDM, Jul 20 '11 at 11:14
why not make it a textbox so you can just submit it and get the value? — NDM, Jul 20 '11 at 11:28
I'm using this code for web application. It's not nice to have text box here. That's why im using this. — Sasindu H, Jul 20 '11 at 11:36

I'm assuming you've picked the first link as your implementation. What are you getting stuck on in the tutorial? – Edgar Velasquez Lim Jul 20 '11 at 11:25

Suggested third party alternatives to [SimpleHtmlDom](http://simplehtmldom.sourceforge.net/) that actually use [DOM](http://php.net/manual/en/book.dom.php) instead of String Parsing: [phpQuery](http://code.google.com/p/phpquery/), [Zend_Dom](http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.dom.html), [QueryPath](http://querypath.org/) and [FluentDom](http://www.fluentdom.org).
