HTMLPP

HTMLPP is a PHP4 library for HTML code parsing. It allows you to parse a HTML code string, build the relative DOM structure and work on it with methods similar to Javascript.

Features:


HTML parsing:
- Simple tags
- Tags without closures
- Autoclosing tags
- Doctype, text and comment parsing
- Modern browser parsing behaviour (Add head,body and html tags if they're not present, Wrap table content inside the tbody if it's not present)

Dom traversing:
- Access to the parent node using the parentNode property
- Access to child nodes using the childNodes array property
- Access to sibling nodes using nextSibling and previousSibling properties
- Access to the owner document with ownerDocument property
- Document shortcuts to body, head and doctype

Dom manipulation:
- Append nodes with appendChild, append and other methods
- Remove nodes with removeChild and remove methods
- Replace nodes with replaceChild and replace methods

Attributes and style manipulation:
- Add, remove, set and get methods for attributes
- Add, remove, set and get methods for style properties

Node searching functions on every element:
- getElementById
- getElementsByTagName
- getElementsByClassName
- getElementsBySelector (Full featured support for Css3 selectors, Support for other non-standard selectors)
- Node iterator class for personalized filter functions

Dom collections with JQuery like methods:
- Add, remove and filter elements in the collection
- Change the current collection by searching in its elements siblings, child nodes or parent nodes
- Manipulate elements in the collection
