Simple HTML DOM parsing isnt working

I am trying to learn HTML DOM parsing at my localhost. But I crash right in the beggining.

1) I have made a new project

2) I have downloaded files from simplehtmldom.sourceforge.net

3) I have put this code inside my HTML project

  <!DOCTYPE html>
<!--
To change this license header, choose License Headers in Project Properties.
To change this template file, choose Tools | Templates
and open the template in the editor.
-->
<html>
    <head>
        <meta charset="UTF-8">
        <title></title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <?php
        // put your code here
         $html = file_get_html('http://www.google.com/');
        ?>
    </body>
</html>

4) I get this error, when I run the script:

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function file_get_html() in C:\xampp\htdocs\PhpProject1\index.php:15 Stack trace: #0 {main} thrown in C:\xampp\htdocs\PhpProject1\index.php on line 15

Am I misunderstanding something here?
