# tidyNode::isHtml

(PHP 5, PHP 7)

tidyNode::isHtml — Checks if a node is an element node

### Description

public tidyNode::isHtml ( ) : bool

Tells if the node is an element node, but not the root node of the document.

### Return Values

Returns `TRUE` if the node is an element node, but not the root node of the document, `FALSE` otherwise.

### Changelog

Version | Description
--- | ---
7.3.24, 7.4.12 | This function has been fixed to have reasonable behavior. Previously, almost any node was reported as being an HTML node.

### Examples

Example #1 Extract HTML code from a mixed HTML document

`<?php
$html = <<< HTML
<html><head>
<?php echo '<title>title</title>'; ?>
<#
/* JSTE code */
alert('Hello World');
#>
</head>
<body>
<?php
// PHP code
echo 'hello world!';
?>
<%
/* ASP code */
response.write("Hello World!")
%>
<!-- Comments -->
Hello World
</body></html>
Outside HTML
HTML;
$tidy = tidy_parse_string($html);
$num = 0;
get_nodes($tidy->html());
function get_nodes($node) {
// check if the current node is of requested type
if($node->isHtml()) {
echo "\n\n# html node #" . ++$GLOBALS['num'] . "\n";
echo $node->value;
}
// check if the current node has childrens
if($node->hasChildren()) {
foreach($node->child as $child) {
get_nodes($child);
}
}
}
?>`

The above example will output:

    # html node #1
    <html>
    <head>
    <?php echo '<title>title</title>'; ?><#
      /* JSTE code */
      alert('Hello World');
    #>
    <title></title>
    </head>
    <body>
    <?php
      // PHP code
      echo 'hello world!';
    ?><%
      /* ASP code */
      response.write("Hello World!")

      /* JSTE code */
      alert('Hello World');
    #>
    <title></title>
    </head>

    # html node #3
