DOMDocument::loadHTMLFile
(PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)
DOMDocument::loadHTMLFile — Load HTML from a file
Description
The function parses the HTML document in the file named
filename. Unlike loading XML, HTML does not have
to be well-formed to load.
Parameters
-
filename -
The path to the HTML file.
-
options -
Since Libxml 2.6.0, you may also use the
optionsparameter to specify additional Libxml parameters.
Return Values
Returns true on success or false on failure. If called statically, returns a
DOMDocument or false on failure.
Errors/Exceptions
If an empty string is passed as the filename
or an empty file is named, a warning will be generated. This warning
is not generated by libxml and cannot be handled using libxml's error handling
functions.
Prior to PHP 8.0.0 this method
could be called statically, but would issue an E_DEPRECATED error.
As of PHP 8.0.0 calling this method statically throws an Error exception
While malformed HTML should load successfully, this function may generate E_WARNING errors when it encounters bad markup. libxml's error handling functions may be used to handle these errors.
Examples
Example #1 Creating a Document
<?php
$doc = new DOMDocument();
$doc->loadHTMLFile("filename.html");
echo $doc->saveHTML();
?>
