htmlSQL - Version 0.5

htmlSQL is an experimental PHP library that allows you to access HTML values by an SQL like syntax.

This means that you don't have to write complex functions or regular expressions to extract specific values.

htmlSQL queries look like this:

SELECT href,title FROM a WHERE $class == "list"

^ Attributes ^ ^ search query (can be empty)

to return ^

^ HTML tag to search in

"*" is possible = all tags

This query should return an array with all links that contain the attribute class="list".

Project Discontinued

HtmlSQL was an experiment I did in 2006. I'm not supporting or extending the library anymore this repository is only for historical purposes. But feel free to fork, modify and study the source code. If you need a reliable library for data scraping I recommend using other modules.

Requirements

Any flavor of PHP4+ should do

Snoopy PHP class - Version 1.2.3 (optional - required for web transfers)

You find all Snoopy related documents (copyright, readme, etc) in the snoopy_data/ subdirectory.

Usage

Just include the "snoopy.class.php" and the "htmlsql.class.php" files

into your PHP scripts and look at the examples to get an idea of how

to use the htmlSQL library. It should be very simple :-)

Background / idea

I had this idea while extracting some data from a website. As I realized

that the algorithms and functions to extract links and other tags are

often the same - I had the idea to combine all functions into a universal

usable library. While drinking a coffee and thinking about that, I

thought it would be cool to access HTML elements by using SQL. So I

started creating this library...

Warning

The eval() function is used for the WHERE statement. Make sure that all

user data is checked and filtered against malicious PHP code.

Never trust any user input!

Todo

Enhance the HTML parser

Test htmlSQL with invalid and bad HTML files

Replace the ugly eval() method for the WHERE statement with an own method

Add more error checks

Add unit tests

Add a LIMIT function like in SQL
