  Hopefully that helps.

  More possibilities include DOMDocument::loadHTML and PHP Simple HTML DOM Parser

  Gerard Banasig : they don't work with codeigniter AFAIK

  Gerard Banasig : Thanks a lot @jacolyte but those are native php libraries, I need one that will run with codeigniter's library system

  Bruce Alderson : Most libraries can be used with CodeIgniter (I frequently use `markdown` and others). Just `require` them from a centra location (like `config/configure.php`), or place them in `libraries/` with a CI-style class wrapper.

  Jessedc : Why do you need one that 'will run with codeigniters library system' ? What difference does it make?

  Gerard Banasig : a php library needs to be extended modified to fit the library structure of codeigniter http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/general/creating_libraries.html

• I was able to figure out how to run Simple_html_dom php library on codeigniter

  I copied the file Simple_html_dom.php to

  /system/libraries
  

  Then in my controller I call it using

  require_once('Simple_html_dom.php');    
  

  To use it I initialized it using this line

  $html = new Simple_html_dom();
  

  Load a page or link using the line

  $html->load_file('http://www.google.com');
  

  and parse or find elements using this line

  $html->find('table tr td')->plaintext;
  

  works fine and fits right to what I needed to do.

  Matthew : Also, you can probably put it in /application/libraries instead of /system/libraries (I think that's the suggested practice).
