Using DOMNodeList to get links with rel=nofollow using php
I have this code but does not seem to be working or I am not figuring out how to get the data I need into a php variable
<?
$html = 'http://www.website.com';
$doc = new DOMDocument();
libxml_use_internal_errors
$doc->loadHTML($html); // loads your html
$xpath = new DOMXPath($doc);
// returns a list of all links with rel=nofollow
$nlist = $xpath->query('//a[@rel="n
foreach ($nlist as $link) {
//condition here
}
?>
the foreach loop does not seem to be finding the links. Is there a way i can do this? I need to extract the URL from the <a> that contains the rel=nofollow
also the "nofollow" is wrapped in double quotes. What if a page has them wrapped in single quotes. Is that going to still find those? I need to make sure I find both.

$html = 'http://www.website.com';I am guessing that is not the real URL you want to inspect. Please post the ACTUAL URL and I will see if I can show you how to find the information you want.

if it even works on your system, the least you could do is switch it off again after use, but I guess using DOMDocument is not really secure and there are better ways to load the content of another website (like curl, but I have never used that yet).
