DOMDocument::loadHTMLFile

(PHP 5, PHP 7)

Load HTML from a file

public bool DOMDocument::loadHTMLFile ( string $filename [, int $options = 0 ] )

The function parses the HTML document in the file named filename. Unlike loading XML, HTML does not have to be well-formed to load.

Parameters:

filename

The path to the HTML file.

options

Since PHP 5.4.0 and Libxml 2.6.0, you may also use the options parameter to specify additional Libxml parameters.

Returns:

Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure. If called statically, returns a DOMDocument or FALSE on failure.

Exception:

If an empty string is passed as the filename or an empty file is named, a warning will be generated. This warning is not generated by libxml and cannot be handled using libxml's error handling functions.

This method may be called statically, but will issue an E_STRICT error.

While malformed HTML should load successfully, this function may generate E_WARNING errors when it encounters bad markup. libxml's error handling functions may be used to handle these errors.

Changelog:

5.4.0

Added options parameter.

Examples:

Creating a Document

?>
