Answer 2

also as an option - https://code.google.com/p/phpquery/

Answer 3

These are all third-party libraries, I somehow already used them ... if you do not use a third-party one, but limit yourself to regular php tools?

Answer 4

Do you understand your task? I will write what I understood from your confusion:
Am I missing something? If not, what didn't you like about bare PHP? It's like a template engine.

Answer 5

In general, I divide the process into several stages.
I get a page.
through str_pos and substr I get the desired section of the page, restore it through tidy_repair_string ,
and then something like the condition if (!preg_match(...)) { $dom new DomDocument(); ... } here's a diagram...
