I need to add a class to a HTML structure.
My class is called "container" and should start right after div/ul/li (the child of ul and its simblings, not grandchilds) and should end right before the closing of the same element.
My whole code looks like this:
<?php
$content = '
<div class="sidebar-1">
<ul>
<li>
<h4>Title</h4>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.test.com">Test</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.test.com">Test</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<p>Paragraf</p>
</li>
<li>
<h4>New title</h4>
<ul>
<li>Some text</li>
<li>Some text åäö</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
';
$doc = new DOMDocument();
$doc->loadHTML($content);
$x = new DOMXPath($doc);
$start_text = '<div class="container">';
$end_text = '</div>';
foreach($x->query('//div/ul/li') as $anchor)
{
$anchor->insertBefore(new DOMText($start_text),$anchor->firstChild);
}
echo $doc->saveXML($doc->getElementsByTagName('ul')->item(0));
?>
It works as far as i can add the class opening but not the closing element. I also get strange encoding doing this. I want the output to be the same encoding as the input.
The result should be
<div class="sidebar-1">
<ul>
<li>
<div class="content">
<h4>Title</h4>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.test.com">Test</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.test.com">Test</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</li>
<li>
<div class="content">
<p>Paragraf</p>
</div>
</li>
<li>
<div class="content">
<h4>New title</h4>
<ul>
<li>Some text</li>
<li>Some text åäö</li>
</ul>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
