i using simple_html_dom.php
how to get textarea value if the website has used bad tag.
the textarea tag already closed before </textarea> like input tag.
Textarea HTML like below:
<textarea name="xxx" id="xxx" />this is value</textarea>
When i use this function, i dont get anything
$textarea = $html->find("textarea[name=xxx]");
$contents = $textarea->innertext;
echo $contents;
how to get 'this is value' using simple_html_dom.php or other alternative?
Thank you

It is easy to get the value of a Teaxtarea in javascript:
<script type=text/javascript>
function getValueTextarea()
{
var vl=document.getElementById("tx").value;
alert(vl);
}
</script>
<body>
<textarea id="tx">Value Of Textarea</textarea>
<input id="button" value="Get Value" onclick="getValueTextarea()">
</body>
Well, my previous comment won't work in this case, I'll leave it for info though...
Another approach is to clean it up before parsing it with simple_html_dom using
Tidy extension. But it seems not to be working here either...A last approach I can think of, and if this is your only problematic case, is to use regex to get what you want:
<textarea.*?name="xxx".*?id="xxx".*?\/>([^<]+)<\/textarea>==>RegEx DEMOThe output will be in group one of the resulting array
$match. Check this working code:Working DEMO
