HTML tables

[Netko]

I'm new to php and i need ur help.

I have HTML table that is made form 4 columns and x rows.

I am wondering if there is any function that could get data from specific
cell into variable?

Example:

I have some variable $var and i would like to put data from some cell x,y
into that variable.

Can someone help me?

Take a look at SimpleXML. As long as you are writing your pages in
XHTML, this should do exactly what you want.

Once you output the data to the browser, you can't access it using PHP.

If you want to change the table after its been outputted, use
javascript (and ask in the appropriate group)

If you are storing the table in an array, then to access a specific
cell you would just do:
$var = $table_data[2][1]; // this accesses row 3, column 2 (because
zero is the starting row or column)

My assumption was that he wanted to access the HTML before it was
spitted to the browser (such as buffering).

The table with data isnt output in browser, but it is html file on server.
But thx anyway, i think i got it with SimpleXML

What you want is something like Perl HTML::TableParser module.
http://search.cpan.org/~djerius/HTML...TableParser.pm
Unfortunately, PHP doesn't have CPAN and you can try finding something on
http://www.phpclasses.org, write your own parser, which shouldn't be too
hard, or just write the whole darned thing in Perl.
