**Beware!** There are several projects with the name pQuery. You might be looking for a different one.

This PHP library allows you to use jQuery-style selectors to find DOM nodes in HTML documents. It uses the PHP DOM classes under the covers, which ultimately use libxml for document parsing.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

You can install using composer:

```
composer require iamcal/pquery

```

This will put the pQuery class into the autoloader in `vendor/autoload.php`.

Alertnatively you can clone this repo and include `src/pQuery.php` directly.

Basic Usage
-----------

[](#basic-usage)

```
$html = 'Hello World';

$pq = pQuery::fromHTML($html);

$nodes = $pq->find('b');
// $nodes is an array of DOMNode objects

```

Supported selectors:

```
tag
tag.class
tag#id
.class
#id

```

Selectors can be chained together, e.g. `table#my-table th a.info`
