There are 2 errors: the second is because $dom is no string but an object and thus cannot be "echoed". The first error is a warning from loadHTML, caused by invalid syntax of the html document to load (probably an & (ampersand) used as parameter separator and not masked as entity with &).

You ignore and supress this error message (not the error, just the message!) by calling the function with the error control operator "@" (http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.errorcontrol.php )

@$dom->loadHTML($html);

$html = file_get_contents("http://www.somesite.com/");

$dom = new DOMDocument();
$dom->loadHTML(htmlspecialchars($html));

echo $dom;

Another possibile solution is,maybe your file is ASCII type file,just change the type of your files.

Even after this my code is working fine , so i just removed all warning messages with this statement at line 1 .

<?php error_reporting(E_ERROR); ?>
