What is the difference between Plaintext and Innertext of an element in Simple HTML dom parser in PHP?

Solution:

According to the Simple HTML DOM parser documentation the difference is next:

$html = str_get_html("<div>foo <b>bar</b></div>");
$e = $html->find("div", 0);

echo $e->tag; // Returns: " div"
echo $e->outertext; // Returns: " <div>foo <b>bar</b></div>"
echo $e->innertext; // Returns: " foo <b>bar</b>"
echo $e->plaintext; // Returns: " foo bar"
Copy code

Solution:

Plaintext:

Plain text is used to find Element based on their tag names. Example: below example will find title. $html->find('title')[0]->plaintext

Innertext as name suggest Innertext is used to manipulate inner content of tags. Example: below example will find tag. $html->find('h1')[0]->innertext
