如何忽略CDATA标签？

Question

I'm trying to make an html parser, but when I load the html I get warnings like this

Warning: DOMDocument::loadHTML() [domdocument.loadhtml]: Invalid char in CDATA 0x1C in Entity, line: 1302

Here is the code I use

class Parser
{
public $url=null;
public $html=null;
public $tidy=null;
public $head=null;
public $head_xpath=null;


function __construct($url){
    $this->url=$url;
    $this->html=file_get_contents($this->url);
    $this->tidy=tidy_parse_string($this->html);
    $this->head=new DOMDocument();
    $this->head->loadHTML($this->tidy->head());
    $this->head_xpath= new DOMXPath($this->head);

}
}

$x=new Parser("http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2012/mar/24/vince-cable-coalition-banking-row");

I searched around and found the LIBXML_NOCDATA constant, but I don't know how to set it. So how could i completely ignore CDATA?

Answer 1

$this->html = preg_replace('~//\s*?<!\[CDATA\[\s*|\s*//\]\]>~', '', $this->html);

should work but haven't really tested it.
