DOM parser that allows HTML5-style </ in <script> tag
dom, html, php
Solution
I had the same problem and apparently you can hack your way trough this by loading the document as XML, and save it as HTML :)
$d = new DOMDocument;
$d->loadXML('<script id="foo"><td>bar</td></script>');
echo $d->saveHTML();
But of course the markup must be error-free for loadXML to work.
Problem
Update: `html5lib` (bottom of question) seems to get close, I just need to improve my understanding of how it's used. I am attempting to find an HTML5-compatible DOM parser for PHP 5.3. In particular, I need to access the following HTML-like CDATA within a script tag: ``` <script type="text/x-jquery-tmpl" id="foo"> <table><tr><td>${name}</td></tr></table> </script> ``` Most parsers will end parsing prematurely because HTML 4.01 ends script tag parsing when it finds ETAGO (`</`) inside a `<script>` tag. However, HTML5 allows for `</` before `</script>`. All of the parsers I have tried so far have either failed, or they are so poorly documented that I haven't figured out if they work or not. My requirements: - Real parser, not regex hacks. - Ability to load full pages or HTML fragments. - Ability to pull script contents back out, selecting by the tag's id attribute. Input: ``` <script id="foo"><td>bar</td></script> ``` Example of failing output (no closing `</td>`): ``` <script id="foo"><td>bar</script> ``` Some parsers and their results: DOMDocument (fails) Source: ``` <?php header('Content-type: text/plain'); $d = new DOMDocument; $d->loadHTML('<script id="foo"><td>bar</td></script>'); echo $d->saveHTML(); ``` Output: ``` Warning: DOMDocument::loadHTML(): Unexpected end tag : td in Entity, line: 1 in /home/adam/public_html/2010/10/26/dom.php on line 5 <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd"> <html><head><script id="foo"><td>bar</script></head></html> ``` FluentDOM (fails) Source: ``` <?php header('Content-type: text/plain'); require_once 'FluentDOM/src/FluentDOM.php'; $html = "<html><head></head><body><script id='foo'><td></td></script></body></html>"; echo FluentDOM($html, 'text/html'); ``` Output: ``` <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd"> <html><head></head><body><script id="foo"><td></script></body></html> ``` phpQuery (fails) Source: ``` <?php header('Content-type: text/plain'); require_once 'phpQuery.php'; phpQuery::newDocumentHTML(<<<EOF <script type="text/x-jquery-tmpl" id="foo"> <td>test</td> </script> EOF ); ``` echo (string)pq('#foo'); Output: ``` <script type="text/x-jquery-tmpl" id="foo"> <td>test </script> ``` html5lib (passes) Possibly promising. Can I get at the contents of the `script#foo` tag? Source: ``` <?php header('Content-type: text/plain'); include 'HTML5/Parser.php'; $html = "<!DOCTYPE html><html><head></head><body><script id='foo'><td></td></script></body></html>"; $d = HTML5_Parser::parse($html); echo $d->saveHTML(); ``` Output: ``` <html><head></head><body><script id="foo"><td></td></script></body></html> ```
