DOM to Parse XML and HTML

As you have seen we can easily use DOM to manipulate XML and HTML and it's really very very simple.

You use the $node->getElementsByTagName('title')->item(0)->nodeValue , for instance the <title> tag, you can grab the title.

If you have many nodes, you do a for each loop. Say you have 3 list items in <UL>, you can declare $listitems = $doc->getElementsByTagName('li').
Now we have a group of list items, all we have to do now is loop through them and get our stuff. for each ($listitems as $listitem){ $listitem_output = $listitem->item(0)->nodeValue; echo $listitem_output;}
Isn't that great?
