jQuery-like interface for PHP?

Solution

Doing some more hunting, I think I might've found precisely what I was looking for:

phpQuery - jQuery port to PHP

Thanks everyone for your answers, I will definitely keep them in mind for other uses.

Problem

I was curious as to whether or not there exists a jQuery-style interface/library for PHP for handling HTML/XML files -- specifically using jQuery style selectors. I'd like to do things like this (all hypothetical): ``` foreach (j("div > p > a") as anchor) { // ... } print j("#some_id")->html(); print j("a")->eq(0)->attr("name"); ``` These are just a few examples. I did as much Googling as I could but couldn't find what I was looking for. Does anyone know if something along these lines exist, or is this something I'm going to have to make from scratch myself using domxml?
