Concatenate HTML tables with PHP DOMDocument -

-

i have whole bunch of large html documents tables of data inside , i'm looking write script can process html file, isolate tags , contents, concatenate rows within tables 1 large data table. loop through rows , columns of new large table.

after research i've started trying out php's domdocument class parse html wanted know, best way this?

this i've got far...

$dom = new domdocument(); $dom->preservewhitespace = false; @$dom->loadhtmlfile('exrate.html'); $tables = $dom->getelementsbytagname('table');

how chop out other tables , contents? i'd remove first table since it's table of contents. loop through table rows , build them 1 large table.

anyone got hints on how this? i've been digging through docs domdocument on php.net i'm finding syntax pretty baffling!

cheers, b

edit: here sample of html file data tables i'd join http://thenetzone.co.uk/exrates/exrate.html

ok got sorted phpquery , lots of trial , error.
takes whole bunch of tables , moves contents first one, removes empty tables.
loops through each table row , extracts text specific columns, in case 2nd , 3rd td of each row.

require('phpquery/phpquery.php'); $doc = phpquery::newdocumentfilehtml('exrates_code.html'); pq('table:first')->remove();// remove first table, contents table not interested pq('tr:has(th)')->remove();// remove table rows headers pq('table:not(:first) tr')->appendto('table:first');// move contents of other tables first pq('table:empty')->remove();// remove empty tables pq('br')->remove();  $rows = pq('table tr'); foreach ($rows $row) {     $currency = pq($row)->find('td:eq(1)')->text();     $value = pq($row)->find('td:eq(2)')->text(); }

hope helps out!

javascript - Enclosure Memory Copies -

function myclass() { //lots , lots of vars , code here. this.bar = function() { //do numerous enclosed myclass vars } this.foo = function() { alert('hello'); //don't enclosed variables. } } each instance of myclass gets own copy of bar , foo, why prototyped methods use less memory. however, know more memory use of inner methods. it seems obvious me (1) below must true. agree? not distinct myclass instances have own distinct copies of bar, must have own distinct copies of myclass enclosure. (or else how bar method keep myclass variables straight on per instance basis?) now (2) question i'm after. since inner foo method doesn't use in myclass enclosure natural qustion is: javascript smart enough not keep myclass enclosure in memory use of foo? this depend entirely on implementation not language. naive implementations keep far more around others. answer true e.g. v8 (chrome's js engine) may not true spider...

(in cases might this: {tag1({tag2({tag3()})})}) , on.) btw using preg_replace_callback, easier show preg_replace here site can test code: http://www.spaweditor.com/scripts/regex/index.php you need add curly braces character set. here's pattern used: /\{[a-za-z.,\(\)\{\}0-9]+\}/ and here result: "lorem ipsum dolor sit replaced, consectetur adipiscing elit."
