Need help for fixing html when scrape using php simple html dom

Question

    require_once 'phpDomClass.php';
    $html = '<div> 
            <div class="man">Name: madac</div>
            <div class="man">Age: 18
            <div class="man">Class: 12</div>

wanna get a text from each div class="man" but it didn't work because there is a missing closing div tag on 2nd line of html code. please help me to fix this.

thanks in advance.

In this case you have to do some ugly string manipulation before you try and parse it with the DOM parser. If this is a one off, you can do something like this

<?php
require_once 'phpDomClass.php';
$html = '<div> 
  <div class="man">Name: madac</div>
  <div class="man">Age: 18
  <div class="man">Class: 12</div>
</div>';
$html = str_replace('<div class="man">Class:','</div><div class="man">Class:',$html);

$dom = new DomDocument();
$dom->loadHTML($html);
$name=$html->find('div.man', 0)->innertext;
$age=$html->find('div.man', 1)->innertext; 
$cls=$html->find('div.man', 2)->innertext;
