[PHP DOM] get all span elements inside a specific element - El Forum - 11-05-2010

This is more a general PHP question than a CI one, but it's for an application I'm working on inside the CI framework so I decided I would ask for help on this forum
.I'm trying to get all span elements inside a table from a certain HTML page. The table had an unique ID and therefore I can get it as follows:
Code:
$doc->getElementById("table_id");Now I want all spans inside that table so I can read the nodeValues, if I wanted to get all of them inside the HTML page I would use:
Code:
foreach($doc->getElementsByTagName('span') as $data) {
echo $data->nodeValue;
}How do I make sure I only get the spans inside table_id?

Wow, I don't see why I didn't got this at first:
Code:
$doc->getElementById("table_id")->getElementsByTagName('span');I think I tried this once but made some kind of mistake and thought I didn't work. Oh well, solved!
