I needed to find and get a webpage’s img src url links. I wanted to do this with a script on a regular basis. The solution I found was to use PHP domdocument:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/138313/how-to-extract-img-src-title-and-alt-from-html-using-php
[php]
<?php
$url="http://example.com";
$html = file_get_contents($url);
$doc = new DOMDocument();
@$doc->loadHTML($html);
$tags = $doc->getElementsByTagName(‘img’);
foreach ($tags as $tag) {
echo $tag->getAttribute(‘src’);
}
?>
[/php]
After spending some time using wget, cat, grep and so on to solve my problem, this little php code made my life easier 🙂
