HTML Parser for PHP 4
---------------------

This is a simple PHP based HTML parser.

How to Use
----------

Simply copy src/htmlparser.inc to a location in your
codebase where you'd like to be able to include it.
The PHP file which uses the parser might look like
this:

<?
  include ("htmlparser.inc");

  $htmlText = "... HTML text here ...";
  HtmlParser parser = new HtmlParser ($htmlText);
  while ($parser->parse()) {
     
      // Data you can use here:
      //
      // $parser->iNodeType 
      // $parser->iNodeName
      // $parser->iNodeValue
      // $parser->iNodeAttributes     

  }

You will find additional documentation for each
field in the source code.
