htmlSQL - Version 0.5
=====================

htmlSQL is an experimental PHP library that allows you to access HTML values by an SQL like syntax. 
This means that you don't have to write complex functions or regular expressions to extract specific values.

**htmlSQL queries look like this:**

SELECT href,title FROM a WHERE $class == "list"
           ^ Attributes    ^       ^ search query (can be empty)
             to return     ^
                           ^ HTML tag to search in
                             "*" is possible = all tags

This query should return an array with all links that contain the attribute `class="list"`.

Project Discontinued
--------------------

HtmlSQL was an experiment I did in 2006. I'm not supporting or extending the library anymore this repository is only for historical purposes. But feel free to fork, modify and study the source code. If you need a reliable library for data scraping I recommend using other modules.
