parsing - Parse output using PHP Simple HTML DOM parser -

i using library (php simple html dom parser) parse link, here's code:

$htmlurl = 'http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/independent/thelook/includes/playlists/web.inc'; $html = file_get_html($htmlurl); 

when print with:

print_r($html . "\n"); 

outputs me (html tree):

<h2>   <span class="dropdown-handle" id="trailers-handle">     <span id='single-trailer-info'>info</span>     <span class='button'> ... 

then want find element withe class (dropdown-list):

$divlist = $html->find('.dropdown-list'); // tried find('.dropdown-list', 0); 

then print with:

print_r($divlist); 

outputs me (array):

simple_html_dom_node object (     [nodetype] => 1     [tag] => div     [attr] => array         (             [class] => dropdown-list         )      [children] => array ... 

and takes forever parsing!

am doing wrong? links have output (array) instead of output (html tree).

thanks :)

try clear or close before print_r (sorry forget which, try 1 , other).

$html->clear();  $html->close(); 

if doesn't work, , know object "find"ing selector type, should grab of first. search through them, makes go quicker if able that. if it's <select> find of first, run find on those, or don't use find , parse them using foreach , strpos.

if doesn't work, try fetching pages first wget, , parsing them w/ html simple dom once have saved them server.
