DOMDocument->loadHTML() — Load HTML from a string

### Description

DOMDocument
bool loadHTML ( string `$source` )

The function parses the HTML contained in the string `source` . Unlike loading XML, HTML does not have to be well-formed to load. This function may also be called statically to load and create a DOMDocument object. The static invocation may be used when no DOMDocument properties need to be set prior to loading.

### Parameters

`source`

  The HTML string.

### Return Values

Returns `TRUE` on success or `FALSE` on failure.

### Errors/Exceptions

If an empty string is passed as the `source` , a warning will be generated. This warning is not generated by libxml and cannot be handled using libxml's error handling functions.

### Examples

Example#1 Creating a Document

`<?php
$doc = new DOMDocument();
$doc->loadHTML("<html><body>Test<br></body></html>");
echo $doc->saveHTML();
?>`
