Simple HTML DOM Parser in PHP is a dream utility for developers that work with both PHP and the DOM because developers can easily find DOM elements using PHP. 

And TechDilute give you a full HTML DOM Parser which is given below full code.

Here are a few sample uses of PHP Simple HTML DOM Parser:

// Include the library
include('simple_html_dom.php');

// Retrieve the DOM from a given URL
$html = file_get_html('http://yoursite.com');

// Find all "A" tags and print their HREFs
foreach($html->find('a') as $e) 
    echo $e->href . '<br>';

// Retrieve all images and print their SRCs
foreach($html->find('img') as $e)
    echo $e->src . '<br>';

// Find all images, print their text with the "<>" included
foreach($html->find('img') as $e)
    echo $e->outertext . '<br>';

// Find the DIV tag with an id of "myId"
foreach($html->find('div#myId') as $e)
    echo $e->innertext . '<br>';

// Find all SPAN tags that have a class of "myClass"
foreach($html->find('span.myClass') as $e)
    echo $e->outertext . '<br>';

// Find all TD tags with "align=center"
foreach($html->find('td[align=center]') as $e)
    echo $e->innertext . '<br>';
    
// Extract all text from a given cell
echo $html->find('td[align="center"]', 1)->plaintext.'<br><hr>';

Like I said earlier, this library is a dream for finding elements, just as the early JavaScript frameworks and selector engines have become. Armed with the ability to pick content from DOM nodes with PHP, it's time to analyze websites for changes.
