Replacing Class Id With Id Contents

[IanArcher]

Hi, i am new to PHP but i have some common knowledge to recognizing commands and such. in my page i have code like this

<div class="page_column page_column_first" id="page_column_1" style="width: 499px;"><div class="page_block_container" id="page_block_759"><div class="disignBoxFirst">    <div class="boxFirstHeader"><div class="dbTitle">Up and Coming</div></div>    <div class="boxContent"><div class="dbContentHtml"><p>This is a placeholder for up and coming news to be edited at News Time.</p></div></div>

So whatever class it is linked to say "boxContent" which is the name of a section on a .css file on the server, i want it take the information under that header and place it on that same line and doing something like

preg_replace

class="boxContent with style="border: 0px; background-color: transparent; margin:10px auto 5px;" Can somebody write something like that for me please or help me with it? It's basically taking the css rule and converting it to inline Thanks

That's not a trivial thing to do. Step 1 is to find all of the CSS files or inline rules, and parse the CSS to find the selectors and styles. Step 2 is the fun business of figuring out which selectors apply to any given element, and step 3 is adding the inline style to the element.

How can i do that? With DOMDocument possibly? Can you write me a sample of that please?

It's far beyond your level. Is there any good reason why you want to do that?The DOMDocument is an built-in XML parser. PHP doesn't have a CSS parser, so you would have to build it yourself and that's not a trivial thing to do.

This is for sending a webpages URL in input through e-mail so it has to be in-line styles. Can you help me with this please?

[Ingolme]

It might be easier for you to modify your pages manually for the e-mail.If you want somebody else to do it for you, it's not going to be free. If you want to do it yourself, you're going to have to make a program following the steps that justsomeguy gave you earlier. To find all the rules and parse them, you'll need to work with algorithms to analyze the string character by character to extract tokens and symbols. The next step is making the program know what to do with each selector and finally you have to add attributes to the elements that the selectors refer to.

[justsomeguy]

It sounds like an interesting problem, but I don't have time to do this for you. This might take me around 100 hours to finish and I've got enough on my plate already. You may want to look into purchasing software that does this.

Well i came across an open source code that does this

Though i want it to display the finished product in the browser window and possibly output it to a file. I'm aware of fwrite and echo commands but i do not know which variables to begin with for this particular code Since everything is so specific.

Check the bottom of the convert function, it will return the HTML that was generated. If you want to modify that function to also save a file, you can use this method: http://www.php.net/m...avehtmlfile.php Or, you can get the returned HTML and use file_put_contents to save it. I'm not sure if you modified that file at all, but it's got some problems. One is all of the duplicate $css variables that are in the constructor, and another is that a filename is being passed to the DOMDocument constructor, which is not correct.

I used file_put_contents and saveHTMLfile and none worked. Though now i am at

mb_convert_encoding("UTF-8", "UTF-8"); $file = fopen("finished.html","w");echo fwrite($file,"$html");fclose($file); 

But it returns the errorNotice: Undefined variable: html in C:\xampp\htdocs\mydiv\process.php on line 5540 I don't know which "$" variable to use for it to actually output. Also which $css duplicates can i get rid of without completely messing up the final code.

Those functions do actually work, believe it or not, so it sounds like you're doing something wrong.

mb_convert_encoding("UTF-8", "UTF-8"); $file = fopen("finished.html","w");echo fwrite($file,"$html");fclose($file);

That code converts the string "UTF-8" to be encoded as UTF-8, then you try to open and write to the file. The file_put_contents function is a replacement for fopen/fwrite/fclose, but if you would rather use those three then that will work also. You're trying to echo the result of fwrite though, so make sure you know what that function returns (it does not return the data you wrote): http://www.php.net/m...tion.fwrite.php It would help to try and find documentation for that class, but you would probably use it like this:

$converter = new CSSToInlineStyles($html_code, $css_code);$converter->setCleanup(true);$output = $converter->convert();

In that code, $html_code is the string of HTML code you start with, $css_code is the string of CSS code that applies to the HTML, and $output is the converted HTML. The constructor should be defined like this: public function __construct($html = null, $css = null) You do not need to edit anything in that file. In fact, if you edit anything in that file it's not going to work the same, it might not work at all. That includes the filename in the DOMDocument constructor inside the convert function. That code defines a class, when you use the class you pass all of the data that it needs, you don't need to edit the class with the data in it. If you edit the class then the class only works for one thing, if you pass the data to the class then you can use the class for anything.

So sticking to the original code without having a filename in the construct and so onI am using this to input a URL: test2.chamberhome.com/viewPage.php?ID=Newsletter_1 and the CSS that the URL uses are multiple CSS files and not just one: test2.chamberhome.com/templates/tmpl_uni/css/common.css test2.chamberhome.com/templates/tmpl_uni/css/general.css test2.chamberhome.com/templates/tmpl_uni/css/anchor.css test2.chamberhome.com/templates/tmpl_uni/css/forms_adv.css test2.chamberhome.com/templates/tmpl_uni/css/login_form.css test2.chamberhome.com/templates/tmpl_uni/css/top_menu.css test2.chamberhome.com/templates/tmpl_uni/css/BxCustomProfileMenu.css test2.chamberhome.com/modules/boonex/listings/templates/base/css/unit.css test2.chamberhome.com/modules/boonex/groups/templates/base/css/unit.css test2.chamberhome.com/modules/boonex/videos/templates/base/css/search.css test2.chamberhome.com/modules/boonex/sites/templates/base/css/main.css test2.chamberhome.com/modules/boonex/poll/templates/base/css/main.css test2.chamberhome.com/modules/boonex/news/templates/base/css/view.css test2.chamberhome.com/modules/boonex/articles/templates/base/css/view.css test2.chamberhome.com/modules/boonex/quotes/templates/base/css/unit.css i removed the 'http://' for this post because it shortens the link. How would I be able to get my desired result? Btw, the documentation for this is located here: http://classes.verko...ine_styles/docsIf it may assist you in assisting me, i'm reading but i could use more professional help. I really appreciate your help so far.

That class is only set up to process one CSS file, so you need to either get the code from all files and combine them, or run the converter once for each CSS file where you keep passing in the updated HTML code and the next CSS code. Note that this does not work with URLs, you need to pass it the actual code. You can get the code from a file using file_get_contents.

You mean pass it the actual html code and css code? Btw, i copied all the code from all the css files into one called style.cssDo i copy all the html code and place it between $html = "<ALL MY HTML>" and then the $css = "style.css"Like so? As i am still receiving no error but it doesn't output a file it just shows up in the browser as these characters  i am using XAMPP by the way. Here is my current code:

You edited the code again, don't change the __construct function. Look at the example from the documentation:

<?php// requirerequire_once 'css_to_inline_styles.php';// create instance$cssToInlineStyles = new CSSToInlineStyles('<the-html-to-process-as-a-string>', '<the-css-to-use>');// grab the processed HTML$processedHTML = $cssToInlineStyles->convert();?>

That code passes the HTML code and CSS code that you see in the middle line into the constructor, that's how the constructor gets that data. You shouldn't edit the constructor directly, you pass the data to it. It was already set up to receive the data before you changed it. Again, you don't need to edit the files he gave you at all. The first line in the example includes the class definition file that you're posting. Your code should include that file, create a new converter object, and run the converter like the example above shows. The only thing you need to add is where you get your HTML and CSS code, and you can use the file_get_contents function that I linked to in the last post. Look at the examples on that page. The code does expect the actual HTML and CSS code, not the filenames. If you want the converter to also remove the IDs and classes, then you need to use the setCleanup function like I showed in post 11.

[IanArcher]

So, this is where i'm at. This is converter.php. process.php is what is known as css_to_inline_styles.php Now with the file get contents i know it's wrong because of the error messages i keep getting,Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in C:\xampp\htdocs\mydiv\converter.php on line 6 then there's the last part, writing the finished product to a file.

<?php// requirerequire_once 'process.php'; // create instance$cssToInlineStyles = new CSSToInlineStyles ( (file_get_contents 'chamber.html', 'style.css') ); $cssToInlineStyles->setCleanup(true); // grab the processed HTML$processedHTML = $cssToInlineStyles->convert();   ?>

[justsomeguy]

$cssToInlineStyles = new CSSToInlineStyles ( file_get_contents('chamber.html'), file_get_contents('style.css') ); For saving the data, you can use file_put_contents. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.file-put-contents.php

[IanArcher]

$cssToInlineStyles = new CSSToInlineStyles ( file_get_contents('chamber.html'), file_get_contents('style.css') ); For saving the data, you can use file_put_contents. http://www.php.net/m...ut-contents.php

Thanks a million, you really helped me, it worked just like i'd hoped.

<?php// requirerequire_once 'process.php'; //Captures URL and Outputs it to a file that will be used for the conversion$url = file_get_contents('http://test2.chamberhome.com/viewPage.php?ID=Newsletter_1');file_put_contents('chamber.html', $url);				// create instance$cssToInlineStyles = new CSSToInlineStyles ( file_get_contents('chamber.html'), file_get_contents('style.css') ); //Removes IDs and Classes$cssToInlineStyles->setCleanup(false); // grab the processed HTML$processedHTML = $cssToInlineStyles->convert(); //Removes links and script tags that emails don't support$data = str_replace('</a>', '', $processedHTML);$data = preg_replace('/<a[^>]+href[^>]+>/', '', $processedHTML); //Convert character encoding to UTF-8mb_convert_encoding('', "UTF-8"); //Displays Finished Result in Browserecho $processedHTML; //Outputs finished result to filefile_put_contents('finished.html', $processedHTML); ?>

The removing of <a href> tags and <script tags> aren't working really.http://1svi.com/mydiv/finished.html <=== You can see the finished result there. I also need to remove the top menu bar and everything that's in it. I think you call those children (<div class ="sys_top_menu">) and (<div class="sys_breadcrumb">) and it's children. I thought the preg_replace or strip_tags functions would work but they're not doing the job.Here's a snippet of those classes and there children. http://codepad.org/LwZZ0b91 You also mentioned repeating the process for the multiple CSS files instead of one? Reason i bring this up is because of when i combined them now the finished product (I uploaded for you to see, the main banner in the page is to the left instead of centered.) Edit: i managed to work around getting <a href> tags removed, repositioned the banner somehow. Though i still would need to strip those parent and child <div> and using multiple CSS as you mentioned. I know you said you have alot on your plate and i want to get out of your hair, could you assist me in this last part please?

[justsomeguy]

Removing those elements is basically out of the scope of regular expressions. You may need to load the HTML into something like a DOMDocument object that will actually parse the HTML and let you access the individual elements. A more complex way would be to parse the HTML yourself and counting how many nested divs there are to figure out how much text to remove. Other than that, you probably also want to strip out all comments, all script tags and event handlers, and all link tags. The text that goes to the mail client shouldn't have any Javascript or links to online resources like CSS files.

Some of it will have to be removed manually. How can i remove the <link> tags now? I've been using strip_tags, preg_replace and str_replace and nothing works. Even with the [^>] for the spaces.

You phrase that like the functions are broken or something. If you try something and it doesn't do what you expect, consider that maybe you're just not using it correctly. If you want to post the code you tried then we can point out why it didn't do what you expected. Your code examples in this thread have had errors in them, so don't assume that you're writing error-free code and the functions are just broken. I would use preg_replace for removing individual tags: $html = preg_replace('#<link [^>]*>#i', '', $html);

You were also talking about using the function over and over again to convert all the css files. How would a code like that look?Here is my code as of now:

<?php// requirerequire_once 'process.php';//Captures URL and Outputs it to a file that will be used for the conversion$url = file_get_contents('http://test2.chamberhome.com/viewPage.php?ID=Newsletter_1');//Stripping ahead$url = str_replace('</a>', '', $url);$url = str_replace('/<div[^>]+class="sys_top_menu"[^>]+style="background:[^>]+transparent[^>]+url(../images/tm_bg.png)[^>]+repeat-x[^>]+scroll[^>]+center[^>]+top;[^>]+min-height:[^>]+31px;[^>]+position:[^>]+relative;[^>]+z-index:[^>]+100;"[^>]+>/', '', $url);$url = preg_replace('/<a[^>]+href[^>]+>/', '', $url);file_put_contents('chamber.html', $url);	// create instance$cssToInlineStyles = new CSSToInlineStyles ( file_get_contents('chamber.html'), file_get_contents('style.css') );//Removes IDs and Classes$cssToInlineStyles->setCleanup(false);// grab the processed HTML$processedHTML = $cssToInlineStyles->convert();str_replace('Home', '', $processedHTML);//Removes links and script tags that emails don't supporthtml2txt("1. <><script< >>alert('hey <br> html2txt <scr<>ipt>');</scr<>ipt>")."<br>";html2txt("2. before <scr<>ipt>document.write('html2txt <scr<>ipt>');</script> after ")."<br>";strip_tags("3. <><script< >>alert('hey <br> strip_tags <scr<>ipt>');</scr<>ipt> ")."<br>";strip_tags("4. before <scr<>ipt>document.write('strip_tags <scr<>ipt>');</script> after")."<br>";function html2txt($text){$search = array('@<>@',  '@<script[^>]*?>.*?</script>@siU',  // Strip out javascript 			   '@<style[^>]*?>.*?</style>@siU',    // Strip style tags properly			   '@<embed[^>]*?>.*?</embed>@siU',    // embed			   '@<object[^>]*?>.*?</object>@siU',    // object	    '@<iframe[^>]*?>.*?</iframe>@siU',    // iframe	   			   '@<![\s\S]*?--[ \t\n\r]*>@',	    // Strip multi-line comments including CDATA			  			   '@</?[^>]*>*@'	 // html tags);while($text != strip_tags($text)) { $text = preg_replace($search, '', $text); }return $text;}//Replacing$cut = '<div class="sys_top_menu">';$endcut = '<div class="sys_bc_wrapper" style="width:998px;">';$start = strpos($cut, $cut);$finish = strpos($endcut, $endcut);$length = ($start - $finish);substr_replace($cut,'',$start, $length);substr_replace($endcut,'',$finish, $length);  //Convert character encoding to UTF-8mb_convert_encoding($processedHTML, "utf-8", "utf-8");//Displays Finished Result in Browserecho $processedHTML;//Outputs finished result to filefile_put_contents('finished.html', $processedHTML);?>

The class has a setCss method you can use to set the new CSS and process the HTML again. $cssToInlineStyles->setHTML($html);$cssToInlineStyles->setCSS($new_css);$html = $cssToInlineStyles->convert();

Hey thanks alot, you really helped me out, i honestly appreciate it. :)Now i'm going to sort out this encoding mess. Check back later i'll post a link of the finished product.Just Incase you want see my current code:
