WP_HTML_Processor::matches_breadcrumbs( string[] $breadcrumbs ): bool

In this article

Indicates if the currently-matched tag matches the given breadcrumbs.

Description

A "*" represents a single tag wildcard, where any tag matches, but not no tags.

At some point this function may support a ** syntax for matching any number of unspecified tags in the breadcrumb stack. This has been intentionally left out, however, to keep this function simple and to avoid introducing backtracking, which could open up surprising performance breakdowns.

Example:

$processor = WP_HTML_Processor::create_fragment( '<div><span><figure><img></figure></span></div>' );
$processor->next_tag( 'img' );
true  === $processor->matches_breadcrumbs( array( 'figure', 'img' ) );
true  === $processor->matches_breadcrumbs( array( 'span', 'figure', 'img' ) );
false === $processor->matches_breadcrumbs( array( 'span', 'img' ) );
true  === $processor->matches_breadcrumbs( array( 'span', '*', 'img' ) );

Parameters

$breadcrumbsstring[]required
DOM sub-path at which element is found, e.g. array( 'FIGURE', 'IMG' ).
May also contain the wildcard * which matches a single element, e.g. array( 'SECTION', '*' ).

Return

bool Whether the currently-matched tag is found at the given nested structure.
