My school supplies me with the following timetable (as seen above), but when I want to parse the table using simplehtmldom. From this table I want to collect the data so that I can use it in my App.

What query in simplehtmldom can i use to select only the first table rows? Like this: Table->(all rows)

When I try this query: echo($html->find('table tr',0)); And I change the the zero to 2 (for example), it doesn't return the next table row of the main table. But Instead it returns the frist table row of sub table in the first table row.

Not that I can't change the way the table is presented, this is the table I have to work with.

What I get now when I execute: echo($html->find('table tr',2)); -> "Maandag"

What I would like to get: <tr><td rowspan="2" align="center" nowrap="1"><table><tbody><tr><td align="center" nowrap="1"><font size="2" face="Arial"> <b>2</b> </font> </td> </tr></tbody></table></td> <td colspan="12" rowspan="2" align="center" nowrap="1"><table><tbody><tr><td></td></tr></tbody></table></td> <td colspan="12" rowspan="2" align="center" nowrap="1"><table><tbody><tr><td width="33%" nowrap="1"><font size="2" face="Arial"> *in_3. </font> </td> <td width="33%" nowrap="1"><font size="2" face="Arial"> O114 </font> </td> <td width="33%" nowrap="1"><font size="2" face="Arial"> V4B </font> </td> </tr><tr><td colspan="3" width="33%" nowrap="1"><font size="2" face="Arial"> V4C </font> </td> </tr></tbody></table></td> <td colspan="12" rowspan="2" align="center" nowrap="1"><table><tbody><tr><td width="33%" nowrap="1"><font size="2" face="Arial"> *in_7. </font> </td> <td width="33%" nowrap="1"><font size="2" face="Arial"> O112 </font> </td> <td width="33%" nowrap="1"><font size="2" face="Arial"> V4B </font> </td> </tr><tr><td colspan="3" width="33%" nowrap="1"><font size="2" face="Arial"> V4A </font> </td> </tr></tbody></table></td> <td colspan="12" rowspan="2" align="center" nowrap="1"><table><tbody><tr><td></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr> (the next tablerow of the first (main) table)

The way I load in the html table:

$html = file_get_html($timetableURL);
$timeTable = $html->find('table',0); //I need to do this because the page with the timetable has more html tables, I tested this and it always fetches the timetable as seen above.

A related question: PHP Simple HTML DOM Parser how to get TR only from first table Only I want to select the second or third row of the first table for example.

echo($timeTable->find('tr',2));

Can you show more of it like how your initializing DOM document and loading desired result into it. Then, it will be more easier for me. — Nana Partykar, Dec 06 '16 at 14:45
Added it, I also added a related question, in which someone has the same problem. — sloeberGJ, Dec 06 '16 at 14:51

It's a little bit convoluted with simple-html-dom:

// find the first table
$table = $html->find('table', 0);

// iterate all tr's
foreach($table->find('tr') as $tr){

  // skip the tr's that are not top level
  if($tr->parent->parent != $table) continue;

  do_something_with($tr);
}

I used a while loop and the simple-html-dom nextSibling() function.

$tableCell = $row->find('td', 0);
while($tableCell){
   $tableCell = $tableCell->next_sibling(); //Go to the next tableCell
}

You can use jQuery selector :first to fetch the first element from the DOM

You can do it like this:

$(function() {
 var table = $('table:first');
 var table_rows = table.find('tr');
 alert(" There are " + table_rows.length + " rows in Table");
});

            </tr>
          </tbody>
        </table>
      </td>
      <td colspan="12" rowspan="2" align="center" nowrap="1">
        <table>
          <tbody>
            <tr>
              <td></td>
            </tr>
          </tbody>
        </table>
      </td>
    </tr>
    <tr></tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

Hope this helps!

That doesn't work as it also selects the nested table rows (tr). Also, I can't use jquery. — sloeberGJ, Dec 06 '16 at 14:55

Traversing your DOM Structure, and I find that the tr that you want is the 4th child tr, which directly under a tbody element under the table.

So, the query you need might be something like this

// assume table is the root/parent DOM
$tr = $table->find('tbody > tr:nth-child(4)');
var_dump($tr->html());

Sorry if the php syntax is incorrect. That is actually tested against phpquery library.

Get only the table rows from the first table - Simple HTML Dom (PHP)
