DiDOM is a fast and simple HTML and XML parser for PHP. To run DiDOM, you need the following system requirements:
PHP Version Requirement: DiDOM generally requires PHP 5.4 or newer. It is always recommended to use the latest stable version of PHP for improved performance, security, and compatibility.
PHP Extensions: The following PHP extensions are required for DiDOM to work properly:
libxml— This extension is a standard part of PHP and is enabled by default since PHP 5.1.0. It is used for parsing XML and HTML documents. You can check iflibxmlis installed by runningphp -m | grep libxmlin the console.
Composer: While not a strict requirement, Composer is the recommended way to install DiDOM in your project. Composer will manage the dependencies and ensure you have the correct versions installed. You can check if Composer is installed by running
composer --versionin the console.Memory Limit: The memory limit for PHP should be sufficient to handle the parsing of large HTML/XML documents. The default memory limit set in
php.inimight be enough, but if you are dealing with very large documents, you may need to increase this limit.Operating System: DiDOM is platform-independent and can run on any operating system that supports PHP, such as Linux, Windows, or macOS.
Here is a step-by-step guide to installing DiDOM using Composer:
Install Composer if you haven't already. Instructions for installing Composer can be found at https://getcomposer.org/download/.
Once Composer is installed, you can add DiDOM to your PHP project by running the following command in your project's root directory:
composer require imangazaliev/didom
- After running the above command, Composer will download and install DiDOM along with its dependencies.
To verify that DiDOM is installed and working correctly, you can create a simple PHP script that uses DiDOM to parse some HTML:
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';
use DiDom\Document;
$html = '<!DOCTYPE html><html><body><h1>Hello, World!</h1></body></html>';
$document = new Document($html);
echo $document->find('h1')[0]->text(); // Outputs: Hello, World!
Make sure you have run composer install to install the dependencies and include the vendor/autoload.php file to autoload the DiDOM classes.
Remember that the actual system requirements may vary depending on the complexity and size of the documents you are working with. Always refer to the official DiDOM repository for the most up-to-date information and documentation.
