Teach you how to quickly develop a PHP movie crawler

Today to do a PHP movie small crawler.

We're going to use Simple_html_dom's collection of data instances, which is a PHP library that is easy to get started with.

Simple_html_dom can help us to parse HTML documents using PHP. This PHP encapsulation class makes it easy to parse HTML documents and manipulate HTML elements (php5+ version above)

Here we take the list page http://paopaotv.com/tv-type-id-5-pg-1.html the http://www.paopaotv.com on the list as an example, grab the list data on the page, and the contents of the information

<?php
include_once ' simple_html_dom.php ';
Get HTML data into an object
$html = file_get_html (' http://paopaotv.com/tv-type-id-5-pg-1.html ');
A-Z alphabetical list each piece of data is within the Id=letter-focus Div class= Letter-focus-item's DL tag, found by Find method is 
$listData = $html->find ("# Letter-focus. Letter-focus-item ")//$listData The Array Object
foreach ($listData as$key=> $eachRowData) {
$filmName = $eachRowData->find ("dd span", 0)->plaintext;//get movie name
$filmUrl = $eachRowData->find ("dd a", 0)->href //Get the DD label under the film corresponding address
//Get more information
//View this column more highlights: http://www.bianceng.cnhttp://www.bianceng.cn/webkf/PHP/
$filmInfo =file_get_html ("http://paopaotv.com". $filmUrl);
$filmDetail = $filmInfo->find (". Info DL");
foreach ($filmDetail as $film) {
$info = $film->find ("DD");
$row =null;
foreach ($info as $childInfo) {
$row []= $childInfo->plaintext;
}
$cate [$key][]=join (",", $row);//To store the video information in the array
}
}

This through simple_html_dom, you can paopaotv.com film and television list of information, as well as film and television specific information to crawl to, and then you can continue to crawl film and television details on the page of the video address information, and then the film and television all the information stored in the database.

The following are common properties and methods for Simple_html_dom:

$html = file_get_html (' http://paopaotv.com/tv-type-id-5-pg-1.html ');
$e = $html->find ("div", 0);
Label
$e->tag;
The
$e->outertext;
of foreign language Inner text
$e->innertext;
Plain text
$e->plaintext;
The child element
$e->children ([int $index]);
The parent element
$e->parent ();
The first child element
$e->first_child ();
The last child element
$e->last_child ();
After a sibling element
$e->next_sibling ();
The former sibling element
$e->prev_sibling ();
Tag array
$ret = $html->find (' a ');
The first a label
$ret = $html->find (' A ', 0);
