html dom parsing via simple html dom scraping method ...

<?php  function scraper($file, $cnt = null) {     /*       @param $file, url or path/file       @param $cnt, (number of results list) empty all, or number     */     require_once('path/to/simple_html_dom.php');     //set_time_limit(0); // uncomment large files     $result = array();      // create dom url     $html = file_get_html($file);     if ($html) {         if (empty($cnt)) { $cnt = count($html->find('dt')); }          foreach($html->find('dl') $dl) {              ($i = 0; $i < $cnt; $i++) {                 $dt = $dl->find('dt', $i)->plaintext;                 $dd = $dl->find('dd', $i)->plaintext;                 $result[] = array(trim($dt) => trim($dd));             }          }     }      return $result;  }  $array = scraper('http://somesite.com/page.html'); print_r($array); ?> 

example output ...

array (     [0] => array         (             [d h lawrence review] => d h lawrence rev         )      [1] => array         (             [d-d excitations in transition-metal oxides] => springer tr mod phys         )      [2] => array         (             [dados-revista de ciencias sociais] => dados-rev cienc soc         )      [3] => array         (             [daedalus] => daedalus         )      [4] => array         (             [daedalus] => daedalus-us         )      [5] => array         (             [daghestan , world of islam] => suomal tied toim sar         )  ) 

updated example specific user350082's issue ...

the definition lists dt , dd tags not closed resulting in dd being included in find('dt') result.

<dt>d h lawrence review<b><dd>  d h lawrence rev</b> <dt>d-d excitations in transition-metal oxides<b><dd>   springer tr mod phys</b> etc. etc. etc. 

updated function ...

function scraper($file, $cnt = null) {      /*       @param $file, url or path/file       @param $cnt, (number of results list) empty all, or number     */     require_once('path/to/simple_html_dom.php');     //set_time_limit(0); // uncomment large files     $result = array();      // create dom url     $html = file_get_html($file);     if ($html) {          foreach($html->find('dl') $dl) {              if (empty($cnt)) { $cnt = count($html->find('dt')); } // set count if null             ($i = 0; $i < $cnt; $i++) {                  $dd = $dl->find('dd', $i)->plaintext;                  $dt = $dl->find('dt', $i)->innertext; // dt html tags, easier removing dd duplication                 $dt = preg_replace('/\s+/', ' ',$dt); // remove whitespace, tabs etc.                  // strip dd text duplication dt                 if (($pos = strrpos($dt ,$dd)) !== false) {                     $strlen = strlen($dd);                     $dt = substr_replace($dt, "", $pos, $strlen);                 }                  $dt = strip_tags($dt); // remove html tags                 if (empty($dt)) { $dt = $dd; } // make sure dt not empty                  $result[] = array(trim($dt) => trim($dd));              }          }      }      return $result;  }
