I am using XPATH and PHP to retrieve operational status content of an external website div
`<?php $doc = new DOMDocument; $doc->preserveWhiteSpace = false; $doc->strictErrorChecking = false; $doc->recover = true; $doc->loadHTMLFile('https://status.xero.com/'); $xpath = new DOMXPath($doc); $query = "//span[@class='status']"; $entries = $xpath->query($query); $info = ($entries->item(0)->textContent); echo '<div id="sta">' . $info .'</div>'; ?>`
How can I test if the text within the target div ‘status’ is “All Systems Operational” example (I know it’s not correct!)
if ($entries->item(0)->textContent === "All Systems Operational"){ echo 'YES'; } else { echo 'NO'; }

Use this XPath to test it already using XPath:
$query = "//span[contains(concat(' ', @class, ' '), ' status ') and normalize-space()='All Systems Operational']";
