PHP simple html dom parser. Empty span

Question

I'm trying to parse the site with folowing code.

<span id="ctl00_cphBody_resList_pnlResumes_rptResumes_ctl01_Label1" class="address">Somename, <nobr>Someage</nobr></span>

I'm parsing it this way

$fio=$text_specialty_next->find('span#ctl00_cphBody_resList_pnlResumes_rptResumes_ct'.$n.'_Label1');

But when I'm trying to print the result,

echo $fio->innertext;

There result is empty. What can cause this problem?

Now my sollution is like this. if ($n<10) { $nstr="0".$n; $fio=$text_specialty_next->find('span[id=ctl00_cphBody_resList_pnlResumes_rptResumes_ctl'.$nstr.'_Label1]'); } else { $fio=$text_specialty_next->find('span[id=ctl00_cphBody_resList_pnlResumes_rptResumes_ctl'.$n.'_Label1]'); } where $n=01, and it's increased. — Sergey Scopin

I've fixed mistakes, and changed span#value to span[id=value], but it still doesn't work.=( What can I do now? — Sergey Scopin

in find()

rptResumes_ct'.$n.'_Label1'

but it should be

rptResumes_ctl'.$n.'_Label1'

You miss an "l"

And what is the value of $n ?

Oh, it's "l". I thought it was 1, lol. $n it's a variable, it has a value, that I substitute. Than's I'll try to fix solution.

:)) yes $n is a variable . I mean, what is it's value, how you use this ?

Sergey Scopin Over a year ago

The value is 01 and it's increased in the loop. By the way, is it possible to make '01' value (not '1')?

@SergeyScopin , you can use sprintf() while declaring $n . Like this : $n = sprintf("%02d", 1); => $n = 01

Does $n="l01"? What parser are you using? In SimpleHTMLDom you need to use find(span[id=...]);

In the simpleHTMLDom Documentation it says to use element[attribute=value]. I am presuming you are using simpleHTMLDom. You also need to check the search string as @Eray says.

The problem was solved. $find->smth returns array, whick doesn't have innertext of course. I have to use foreach(find->smth as $someelement) to echo it.
