How would you add more class names to this please?

joad

Been on this for a while, anyone know how to add more class names for tables to the code below please? For example, for other tables with the class names of timetable and table-six please??

	try
	{
		$html = file_get_html($input);
		$tables = $html->find('table[class=table-one]');
		foreach( $tables as $table)

{

Any help appreciated.

I'm not sure what function file_get_html is, as it's not a defined PHP function. Looks like you could use a CSS-style selector there, so perhaps this may work:

table[class~='table-one'][class~='table-six'][class~='timetable']

That would only bring back elements that have all three of those classes. To get a list of anything that has any of them, you may have to run three separate passes of find() and merge the results together.

Many thanks bpat1434 - it's appreciated. Just to clarify, am a little confused, sorry. How exactly would the code below, be adapted with yours please?

    try
    {
        $html = file_get_html($input);
        $tables = $html->find('table[class=table-one]');
        foreach( $tables as $table)

{

Just tried :

		$html = file_get_html($input);
		$tables = $html->find('table[class='stripable-dates'][class='stripable-index'][class='stripable-directory']');
		foreach( $tables as $table)

But get the error :

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /(website page) for the same line as the code above is on.

Remove the quotes that are around the individual class names (e.g. it should be [class=stripable-dates] instead of [class='stripable-dates']). (With the caveat that we're guessing how that function actually works, but it's consistent with your original example.)

I think Nog is on to something ...

But the syntax error is because you are using single quotes to surround the table classnames, and single quotes to delimit the string. Change either the outermost single quotes to double quotes, or all the single quotes surrounding the class names to double quotes.

Or remove all the quotes surrounding class names all together as NogDog suggested.

Thanks Nog and bpat - it's appreciated. Tried :

 $tables = $html->find(table[class=stripable-dates][class=stripable-index][class=stripable-directory]);

and now get :

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '['

We didn't say remove all the single quotes. You still have to quote the string being passed to the find() method.

Try this:

$tables = $html->find('table[class=stripable-dates][class=stripable-index][class=stripable-directory]');
