php-readability/README.md

Readability

This is an extract of the Readability class from the full-text-rss fork. It kind be defined as a better version of the original php-readability.

Differences

The default php-readability lib is really old and needs to be improved. I found a great fork of full-text-rss from @Dither which improve the Readability class.

• I've extracted the class from its fork to be able to use it out of the box
• I've added some simple tests
• and changed the CS, run php-cs-fixer and added a namespace

But the code is still really hard to understand / read ...

Usage

use Readability\Readability;

$url = 'http://www.medialens.org/index.php/alerts/alert-archive/alerts-2013/729-thatcher.html';

// you can use whatever you want to retrieve the html content (Guzzle, Buzz, cURL ...)
$html = file_get_contents($url);

$readability = new Readability($html, $url);
$result = $readability->init();

if ($result) {
    // display the title of the page
    echo $readability->getTitle()->textContent;
    // display the *readability* content
    echo $readability->getContent()->textContent;
} else {
    echo 'Looks like we couldn\'t find the content. :(';
}
