I've never quite understood how they get that versioning information in 
the documentation. It often seems wrong. DOMDocument has been part of the 
PHP core since 5.0.

Another option is XML_HTMLSax3 from PEAR:
http://pear.php.net/package/XML_HTMLSax3

Here's an example use of the above PEAR module: it converts an HTML table 
into a two-dimensional array, respecting rowspan and colspan (oh yes!):
