I am struggling to extract specific data from a table on a website page, particularly the columns name, level, and experience. The table's alternating row colors (zebra pattern) are complicating this task.
I have implemented SimpleHTMLDom for this purpose, and below is the code I am currently using:
<?php
include('simple_html_dom.php');
function scrapeHighscore($world) {
$html = str_get_html('https://secure.tibia.com/community/?subtopic=highscores&world=' . $world);
$tables = $html->find('table');
foreach($tables as $table) {
$names = $table->find('a');
foreach($names as $name) {
return $name . ' - ';
}
$levels = $table->find('td[@width="15%"]');
foreach ($levels as $level) {
return $level . ' - ';
}
$experiences = $table->find('td[@width="20%"]');
foreach ($experiences as $experience) {
return $experience . '<br>';
}
}
}
echo scrapeHighscore('Antica');
?>
You can check out an example of the website I am trying to scrape here:
The desired output includes only the names, levels, and experiences from the table in the format shown below:
Meendel 536 2538560931
Drendaric 514 2237710308
Magicalse 509 2180132453
...
King Migoon 446 1460356304
I am currently facing issues with my script not returning any results and instead displaying a blank page. How can I modify my approach to achieve the desired outcome?
