Hi,

I'm working on a new scraping script, as simple as detect if the site that I'm querying has a SITEMAP or NOT so I was playing with some domxpath to get the html and play with it, but I think that am I limited to the attributes?

...some more code
$dom = new DOMDocument();
@$dom->loadHTML($myhtml);

$xpath = new DOMXPath($dom);

$hrefs = $xpath->evaluate("/html/body//a");

for ($i = 0; $i < $hrefs->length; $i++) {
$href = $hrefs->item($i);

$url = $href->getAttribute('href');
//$alt = $href->getAttribute('alt');
//$target = $href->getAttribute('target');

echo "<br />Hey take a look: $url";

.... close

Any ideas how can I get domxpath to let me know if a site has a string (...anything...SITEMAP...anything)

Thank you

J.

Why use the DOM to get that info?
Just preg_match for the string you're looking for, then load it into the DOM if you find it has what you want.
