PHP Simple HTML DOM Parser / Support Requests / #22 How to find multiple attributes

pixeline - 2013-12-08

I would select all tr.even then in the foreach, bypass those that do have the "id" attribute

$ret = $html->find('div[id]'); foreach($html->find('tr[class=even]') as $e) if(!$e->id){ // process the data... } }

Remember that find returns an array of dom objects (this is implicit in the answer pixeline gave).

Closing because this works in the latest version.
You can do it exactly in the way you wanted to do it initially
$html->find('tr.even[!id]');
or use the alternative version
$html->find('tr[class*="even"][!id]');

Here is my test script for reference.

<?php

require_once 'simple_html_dom.php';

$html = str_get_html(
<<<EOD
<html>
<body>
    <table>
        <tr class="odd"><td>row 1</td></tr>
        <tr class="even" id="summary"><td>row 2 (summary)</td></tr>
        <tr class="odd"><td>row 3</td></tr>
        <tr class="even"><td>row 4</td></tr>
        <tr class="odd"><td>row 5</td></tr>
        <tr class="even" id="special"><td>row 6 (special)</td></tr>
        <tr class="odd"><td>row 7</td></tr>
        <tr class="even"><td>row 8</td></tr>
    </table>
</body>
</html>
EOD
);

foreach($html->find('tr.even[!id]') as $tr) {
    echo $tr->plaintext . PHP_EOL;
}

echo '--- alternative ---' . PHP_EOL;

foreach($html->find('tr[class*="even"][!id]') as $tr) {
    echo $tr->plaintext . PHP_EOL;
}

/**
 * Expected:
 *
 * row 4
 * row 8
 */
