#37 find() problem

[Anonymous]

I'm creating a web crawler and I have a problem with the "find" function. When I load "https://maps.google.com" $page will be true, but "find" will give me a fatal error, precisely:

"Fatal error: Call to a member function find() on a non-object in C:*\simple_html_dom.php on line 1113"

Here is the code:

$page->load_file($url); // "https://maps.google.com"

if($page && is_object($page) && isset($page->nodes)) {

if (method_exists($page,"find")) {

    if ($page->find("html")) {
        $t = $page->find("title", 0);

    if($t){
    $title = $t->innertext;
        }

    }

}

}

How could I filter webpages like the one above to prevent my script from stopping?

This error indicates, that page loading was not successful and $page is probably null (because it couldn't load the page). You need to account for that:

if($page){ /* parse contents */ } else { /* error */ }

Your solution does the same thing in a awkward way by checking if $page is actually the object instead of checking if $page is null.

I'll close this issue because it is quite old and probably of no concern anymore. Please don't hesitate to open a new ticket for futher discussion.
