So I have a HTML string like this:
<td class="name">
<a href="/blah/somename23123">Some Name</a>
</td>
<td class="name">
<a href="/blah/somename28787">Some Name2</a>
</td>
Using XPath I'm able to get value of href attribute using this Xpath query:
$domXpath = new \DOMXPath($this->domPage);
$hrefs = $domXpath->query("//td[@class='name']/a/@href");
foreach($hrefs as $href) {...}
And It's even easier to get a text value, like this:
// Xpath auto. strips any html tags so we are
// left with clean text value of a element
$domXpath = new \DOMXPath($this->domPage);
$names = $domXpath->query("//td[@class='name']/");
foreach($names as $name) {...}
Now I'm curious to know, how can I combine those two queries to get both values with only one query (If it's something like that even posible?).
Fetch
//td[@class='name']/a
and then pluck the text with nodeValue
and the attribute with getAttribute('href')
.
Apart from that, you can combine Xpath queries with the Union Operator |
so you can use
//td[@class='name']/a/@href|//td[@class='name']
as well.
