简单的HTML DOM无法获取文件

Question

I have no clue what the solution might be. I simply cannot get the html file of this Charizard, I don't get any response even though the link is correct. Bulbasaur is working fine, but I want this lovely Charizard...

include("simple_html_dom.php");
$html = file_get_html('https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Charizard_(Pok%C3%A9mon)');
$html2 = file_get_html('https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Bulbasaur_(Pok%C3%A9mon)');
echo $html;
echo $html2;

Does this page have any protection or is Charizard only harder to catch? I'd appreciate if you are able to help me with this.

Answer 1

There are two problems here:

1. Length of the content fetched from this URL exceeds MAX_FILE_SIZE (defined in simple_html_dom.php)
2. The bug that was pointed out in the comments (https://github.com/sunra/php-simple-html-dom-parser/issues/37). This bug seems to be resolved in the forked repository that is maintained on github but it still exists in original version (which does not seem to be maintained anymore).

To solve the first problem, edit simple_html_dom.php and change define('MAX_FILE_SIZE', 600000); to use a bigger number.

As a workaround for the second problem, pass correct parameters to file_get_html, and by that I mean to pass 0 for $offset:

$html = file_get_html('https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Charizard_(Pok%C3%A9mon)',
false,
null,
0); // this last one is the offset

var_dump($html);

Alternatively you can use the forked version of the library.
