About

Converts HTML table to other format

This project is in ALPHA, meaning it is not fully functional!

Inspired by project https://github.com/tremblay/HTML-Table-to-JSON

Example

Given we have table bellow

When we run the code bellow

<?php

$converter = HtmlTableConverter\HtmlTableConverterFactory::fromHtml($tableHtml);
var_dump($converter->convert()); 

Then will get the following result

array(3) {
  [0] =>
  array(3) {
    [0] =>
    string(10) "First name"
    [1] =>
    string(9) "Last name"
    [2] =>
    string(6) "Points"
  }
  [1] =>
  array(3) {
    'First name' =>
    string(4) "Jill"
    'Last name' =>
    string(5) "Smith"
    'Points' =>
    string(9) "<b>50</b>"
  }
  [2] =>
  array(3) {
    'First name' =>
    string(3) "Eve"
    'Last name' =>
    string(7) "Jackson"
    'Points' =>
    string(9) "<b>94</b>"
  }
}

Stripping HTML tags from column values

<?php

$converter = HtmlTableConverter\HtmlTableConverterFactory::fromHtml($tableHtml);
$converter->stripTagsFromColumnValues();
var_dump($converter->convert()); 

array(3) {
  [0] =>
  array(3) {
    [0] =>
    string(10) "First name"
    [1] =>
    string(9) "Last name"
    [2] =>
    string(6) "Points"
  }
  [1] =>
  array(3) {
    'First name' =>
    string(4) "Jill"
    'Last name' =>
    string(5) "Smith"
    'Points' =>
-    string(9) "<b>50</b>"
+    string(2) "50"
  }
  [2] =>
  array(3) {
    'First name' =>
    string(3) "Eve"
    'Last name' =>
    string(7) "Jackson"
    'Points' =>
-    string(9) "<b>94</b>"
+    string(2) "94"
  }
}

Removing header values

<?php

$converter = HtmlTableConverter\HtmlTableConverterFactory::fromHtml($tableHtml);
$converter->doNotIncludeHeaderRowInResult();
var_dump($converter->convert()); 

array(2) {
-  [0] =>
-  array(3) {
-    [0] =>
-    string(10) "First name"
-    [1] =>
-    string(9) "Last name"
-    [2] =>
-    string(6) "Points"
-  }
  [0] =>
  array(3) {
    'First name' =>
    string(4) "Jill"
    'Last name' =>
    string(5) "Smith"
    'Points' =>
    string(9) "<b>50</b>"
  }
  [1] =>
  array(3) {
    'First name' =>
    string(3) "Eve"
    'Last name' =>
    string(7) "Jackson"
    'Points' =>
    string(9) "<b>94</b>"
  }
}
