README
html2text is a very simple script that uses DOM methods to convert HTML into a format similar to what would be rendered by a browser - perfect for places where you need a quick text representation. For example:
<html>
<title>Ignored Title</title>
<body>
<h1>Hello, World!</h1>
<p>This is some e-mail content.
Even though it has whitespace and newlines, the e-mail converter
will handle it correctly.
<p>Even mismatched tags.</p>
<div>A div</div>
<div>Another div</div>
<div>A div<div>within a div</div></div>
<a href="http://foo.com">A link</a>
</body>
</html>
Will be converted into:
Hello, World!
This is some e-mail content. Even though it has whitespace and newlines, the e-mail converter will handle it correctly.
Even mismatched tags.
A div
Another div
A div
within a div
[A link](http://foo.com)
See the original blog post or the related StackOverflow answer.
Installing
You can use Composer to add the package to your project:
{
"require": {
"soundasleep/html2text": "~1.1"
}
}
And then use it quite simply:
$text = \Soundasleep\Html2Text::convert($html);
You can also include the supplied html2text.php and use $text = convert_html_to_text($html); instead.
Options
| Option | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ignore_errors | false |
Set to true to ignore any XML parsing errors. |
| drop_links | false |
Set to true to not render links as [http://foo.com](My Link), but rather just My Link. |
Pass along options as a second argument to convert, for example:
$options = array(
'ignore_errors' => true,
// other options go here
);
$text = \Soundasleep\Html2Text::convert($html, $options);
Tests
Some very basic tests are provided in the tests/ directory. Run them with composer install && vendor/bin/phpunit.
Troubleshooting
Class 'DOMDocument' not found
You need to install the PHP XML extension for your PHP version. e.g. apt-get install php7.1-xml
