So one thing I've noticed is that DOMDocument->saveHTMLFile() does not create W3C valid HTML. and <img> nodes aren't closed, leading to errors if you want to validate it. To fix this, I've created a simple function. <?php function valid_saveHTMLFile($in,$outputFile) { $in = preg_replace('/<br(.*?)\/?>/','<br$1/>',$in); $in = preg_replace('/<img(.*?)\/?>/','<img$1/>',$in); return file_put_contents($outputFile,$in); } ?> to call it <?php valid_saveHTMLFile($dom->saveHTML(),'pathtofile'); ?> with $dom being your DOMDocument, and 'pathtofile' being...here's a surprise...the path to your save file. The function returns the exact same thing file_put_contents returns (ie: The function returns the amount of bytes that were written to the file, or FALSE on failure.)
