DOMDocument::loadHTML
(PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)
DOMDocument::loadHTML — Load HTML from a string
Description
The function parses the HTML contained in the string source.
Unlike loading XML, HTML does not have to be well-formed to load. This
function may also be called statically to load and create a
DOMDocument object. The static invocation may be
used when no DOMDocument properties need to be
set prior to loading.
Parameters
-
source -
The HTML string.
-
options -
Since Libxml 2.6.0, you may also use the
optionsparameter to specify additional Libxml parameters.
Return Values
Returns true on success or false on failure. If called statically, returns a
DOMDocument or false on failure.
Errors/Exceptions
If an empty string is passed as the source,
a warning will be generated. This warning is not generated by libxml
and cannot be handled using libxml's error handling functions.
Prior to PHP 8.0.0 this method
could be called statically, but would issue an E_DEPRECATED error.
As of PHP 8.0.0 calling this method statically throws an Error exception
While malformed HTML should load successfully, this function may generate E_WARNING errors when it encounters bad markup. libxml's error handling functions may be used to handle these errors.
Examples
Example #1 Creating a Document
<?php
$doc = new DOMDocument();
$doc->loadHTML("<html><body>Test<br></body></html>");
echo $doc->saveHTML();
?>
