FluentDOM + html5

html 5 is not directly supported by PHPs DOM extension. That means FluentDOM will not understand it either. But here is a solution. html5-PHP is library that can parse html5 into a DOM document.



Both libraries use Composer:

"require": {
  "fluentdom/fluentdom": "5.*",
  "masterminds/html5": "2.*"
}

Read html5 into FluentDOM:

$html5 = new Masterminds\html5();
$fd = FluentDOM($html5->loadhtml($html));

Or write it:

echo $html5->savehtml($fd->document);

html5-PHP puts the elements into the Xhtml namespace. To use XPath expressions, you will need to register a prefix for it:

$html5 = new Masterminds\html5();
$fd = FluentDOM($html5->loadhtml($html));
$fd->registerNamespace(
  'xhtml', 'http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'
);
echo $fd->find('//xhtml:p')->text();
