Basics

Example

phpQuery::newDocumentFileXHTML('my-xhtml.html')->find('p');
$ul = pq('ul');

Loading documents

• phpQuery::newDocument($html, $contentType = null) Creates new document from markup. If no $contentType, autodetection is made (based on markup). If it fails, text/html in utf-8 is used.
• phpQuery::newDocumentFile($file, $contentType = null) Creates new document from file. Works like newDocument()
• phpQuery::newDocumentHTML($html, $charset = 'utf-8')
• phpQuery::newDocumentXHTML($html, $charset = 'utf-8')
• phpQuery::newDocumentXML($html, $charset = 'utf-8')
• phpQuery::newDocumentPHP($html, $contentType = null) Read more about it on PHPSupport page
• phpQuery::newDocumentFileHTML($file, $charset = 'utf-8')
• phpQuery::newDocumentFileXHTML($file, $charset = 'utf-8')
• phpQuery::newDocumentFileXML($file, $charset = 'utf-8')
• phpQuery::newDocumentFilePHP($file, $contentType) Read more about it on PHPSupport page

pq function

pq($param, $context = null);

pq(); function is equivalent of jQuery's $();. It's used for 3 type of things:

1. Importing markup

// Import into selected document:
// doesn't accept text nodes at beginning of input string
pq('<div/>')
// Import into document with ID from $pq->getDocumentID():
pq('<div/>', $pq->getDocumentID())
// Import into same document as DOMNode belongs to:
pq('<div/>', DOMNode)
// Import into document from phpQuery object:
pq('<div/>', $pq)

2. Running queries

// Run query on last selected document:
pq('div.myClass')
// Run query on document with ID from $pq->getDocumentID():
pq('div.myClass', $pq->getDocumentID())
// Run query on same document as DOMNode belongs to and use node(s)as root for query:
pq('div.myClass', DOMNode)
// Run query on document from phpQuery object 
// and use object's stack as root node(s) for query:
pq('div.myClass', $pq)

3. Wrapping DOMNodes with phpQuery objects

foreach(pq('li') as $li)
  // $li is pure DOMNode, change it to phpQuery object
  pq($li);
