### Two PHP helper classes for removing html tags and extracting file paths

[](#two-php-helper-classes-for-removing-html-tags-and-extracting-file-paths)

---

Install in your project

```
composer require matejch/html_helpers "^1.0.0"

```

---

### class HtmlTagRemover

[](#class-htmltagremover)

With class `HtmlTagRemover` you can remove specified html tags and its content from html string

*Example: remove tags based on name*

```
$service = new HtmlTagRemover($htmlString);
service->removeTags(['a','img']);
```

---

*Example: remove tags based on content of attribute*

```
$service = new HtmlTagRemover($htmlString);

$service->removeTags(['a' => 'href[files]']);

/** remove 'a' tags where href attribute contains `files` substring and span elements contains class with `test` string */
$service->removeTags(['a' => 'href[files]','span' => 'class[test]']);
```

---

### class HtmlFileExtractor

[](#class-htmlfileextractor)

I created this class, because I needed to extract file paths from html before sending email, and add the as attachment

This class can return source from *img* or *a* tags automatically

But also from custom tags or attributes

*Example: get file paths from **img** and **a** tag*

```
$service = new HtmlFileExtractor($htmlString);

/** return files as array of strings directly from href and src */
$service->getFiles(['img','a'])
```

---

*Example: get file paths other tags or specified attributes*

```
/** return files as array of strings from class attributes of span elements */
$service->getFiles(['span' => 'class'])

$service->getFiles(['span' => 'class','img'=>'alt'])

/** return files as array of strings from class attributes of span elements,
 * where class contains substring 'es' and from alt attribute of image tags
 */
$service->getFiles(['span' => 'class[es]','img'=>'alt'])
```

---

Remove package from your project

```
