So I am using the PHP Simple HTML DOM Parser and I am trying to get the table list of Top Goalscorers from this webpage: http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/chinese-super-league/startseite/wettbewerb_CSL.html (it's the top 5...)
I am trying to parse the table Top Goal Scorers and that has the ID of "spieler". In doing so, I want to get each table row and list them on my own. The problem is... below Name / Club... there is a new <table>
to make the image, name and club name easier to display on a webpage.
I am trying to figure out the DOM so I can see what I need to select and get the right player name, club name and the goals. Thanks.
Here's what I have so far:
<textarea id='txt_out'>
<?php
echo "Player | Team | Goals
:--|:--|:--:
";
$url = "http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/chinese-super-league/startseite/wettbewerb_CSL.html";
$html = file_get_html($url);
foreach($html->find('#spieler') as $row) {
if ($i > 0) {
$player = $row->find('table tr',3)->plaintext;
echo $player . "|TEST TEAM|0";
}
$i++;
}
?>
</textarea>
and this echo
returns blank.
<textarea id="txt_out">Player | Team | Goals
:--|:--|:--:
</textarea>
