我正在使用“简单的 HTML Dom”来抓取 HN 头版 (news.ycombinator.com)，它在大多数情况下都很好用。

然而，他们时不时地推销一个缺乏抓取工具正在寻找的元素的工作/公司，即分数、用户名和评论数量。

无耻促销

这当然会破坏数组，从而破坏我的脚本的输出：

 <?php

// 2012-02-12 Maximilian (Extract news.ycombinator.com's Front Page)

// Set the header during development
//header ("content-type: text/xml");

// Call the external PHP Simple HTML DOM Parser (http://simplehtmldom.sourceforge.net/manual.htm)
include('lib/simple_html_dom.php');

date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Berlin');

// Download 'news.ycombinator.com' content
//$tmp = file_get_contents('http://news.ycombinator.com');
//file_put_contents('get.tmp', $tmp);

// Retrieve the content
$html = file_get_html('tc.tmp');

// Set the extraction pattern for each item
$title = $html->find("tr td table tr td.title a");
$score = $html->find("tr td.subtext span");
$user = $html->find("tr td.subtext a[href^=user]");
$link = $html->find("tr td table tr td.title a");
$time = $html->find("tr td.subtext");
$additionals = $html->find("tr td.subtext a[href^=item?id]");

// Construct the feed by looping through the items
for($i=0;$i<29;$i++) {

$cr=1;

// Check if the item points to an external website
if (!strstr($link[$i]->href,'http')) {

$url = 'http://news.ycombinator.com/'.$link[$i]->href;
$description = "Join the discussion on Hacker News.";


} else {

$url = $link[$i]->href;

// Getting content here

if (empty($abstract)) {

$description ="Failed to load any relevant content. Please try again later.";

} else {

$description = $abstract;

}

}
// Put all the items together
  $result .= '<item><id>f'.$i.'</id><title>'.htmlspecialchars(trim($title[$i]->plaintext)).'</title><description><![CDATA['.$description.']]></description><pubDate>'.str_replace('  | '.$additionals[$i]->plaintext,'',str_replace($score[$i]->plaintext.' by '.$user[$i]->plaintext.' ','',$time[$i]->plaintext)).'</pubDate><score>'.$score[$i]->plaintext.'</score><user>'.$user[$i]->plaintext.'</user><comments>'.$additionals[$i]->plaintext.'</comments><id>'.substr($additionals[$i]->href,8).'</id><discussion>http://news.ycombinator.com/'.$additionals[$i]->href.'</discussion><link>'.htmlspecialchars($url).'</link></item>'; 
}

$output = '<rss><channel><id>news.ycombinator.com Frontpage</id><buildDate>'.date('Y-m-d H:i:s').'</buildDate>'.$result.'</channel></rss>';

file_put_contents('tc.xml', $output);


?>

这是正确输出的示例

A dollar from each download will go directly to The Bob Woodruff Foundation; a charity dedicated to serving injured Veterans and their families.I am confident that the low price of my new comedy special and the fact that 20% of each $5 download will be donated to this very noble cause will prevent people from stealing it.

这是一个错误输出的例子。请注意，元素不是空的，因此我似乎无法捕捉到错误并简单地跳转到下一项。促销后的所有内容都会中断：

所以这是我的问题：如何处理缺少特定元素并且 find() 不会引发错误的情况？我必须从头开始，还是有更好的方法来抓取 HN 头版？

对于任何好奇的人，这里是整个 XML 文件：http ://thequeue.org/api/tc.xml

您必须按块工作才能处理它，似乎有一个虚拟间隔元素可以帮助您：

$news = preg_split('/<tr style="height:5px"><\/tr>/',$html->find('tbody',2)->innertext);

然后使用子选择器：

foreach($news as $article){
    $article = str_get_html($article)
    // No upvote arrow found so its not a valid article
    if(count($article->find('img')) === 0){
        continue;
    }
}

对于其他元素，您使用相同的选择器

感谢 Ivan 的思路，我现在将最初抓取的 HTML 拆分为一个数组，每个节点代表一个帖子。然后，循环遍历每个帖子，我将检查是否存在向上投票的箭头图像。如果没有，我不会将其添加到结果中。最后，所有内容都将被缝合在一起，而赞助的帖子被排除在外。这是代码：

$array = explode('<tr style="height:5px"></tr>',$html);
foreach ($array as $post) {

    if (!strstr($post,'grayarrow.gif')){}else{

    $clean .=  $post;

    }

}
unset($array);
$html = str_get_html($clean.'</body></html>');
