Parsing HTML in Python with BeautifulSoup

Is there an equivalent library for PHP? It might save me a lot of time.

Yes, try Simple HTML DOM:

Its a little light on documentation, but has a familiar syntax and handles malformed HTML. I've used it in a number of projects and its been great.

I don't think there is, but a way to workaround it is to use tidy to clean up malformed html, then use simplexml or another parser library.
