PHP - How to parse data from site with JavaScript dynamic content [duplicate]

Question

I am trying parse data from this site: www.sberbank.ua/branches/, and I am using simple HTML DOM Parser.

I tried this:

include_once(dirname(__FILE__).'/simple_html_dom.php');
$html = file_get_html('http://www.sberbank.ua/branches/');
foreach($html->find("div.bitem") as $e) {
    echo $e->innertext."<br>";
}

This is the data that I need parse: screenshot

The problem is that the data is generated by javascript and when I tried get the DIV this was empty.

Please someone can help me to solve this?

Screen scraping is notoriously perilous. Have you tried hitting the URL in a browser without JavaScript turned on? Does the site in question have a non-JavaScript fallback? — AndFisher

@AndFisher yep I have tried it and the site doesn't works without javascript. There is not any GET request. — Camilo Jurado Diaz

Then you cannot scrape the sites javascript generated information as file_get_html() does not run the javascript — RiggsFolly

I solved this using Firebug extension for Firefox, with this I found the URL that the JS function uses to get the data. Finally I parsed the data from the new URL.
