Found my answer here by using saveHtml
of the particular node.
I am trying to convert a few spans
into an unordered list. I have to assume that the list items are separated by a <span ... </span>
For example, this is some of the html that I need to convert:
<span class="FirstClass"> Send the author a PM </span>
<span id="blah"><a href="a_link_here"</a></span>
<span><img src="www...." /></span>
I can replicate these into a list, but I don't know how to preserve the hyperlinks and images in each span
. I can only get the nodeValue and Attributes. I really just need to get everything in between.
This is what I am doing:
$elements = $doc->getElementsByTagName('span');
$i = 0;
echo '<ul>';
foreach ($elements as $param) {
$node = $elements->item($i);
echo '<li>';
if ($node->hasAttributes()) {
echo '<span ';
foreach ($node->attributes as $attr) {
echo $attr->nodeName.'="'.$attr->nodeValue.'"';
}
echo '>';
}
else
echo '<span>';
echo $node->nodeValue . '</span></li>';
$i++;
}
echo '</ul>';
