Try this script.

Because $html->find('div.pd-mrp') return multiple elements.

$html=new simple_html_dom();
$html->load($cl);

foreach($html->find('div.pd-mrp') as $elements) {
    echo $elements->plaintext;
    break;
}

Final answer :

The target value is a price on a product page. This value is not served at first call, so simple_html_dom can't access it. The workaround would be to scrap the frontend page in a browser extension for example, and to get the value via javascript. This way, you could get your value and process it or send it back to php, if you need.

First answer :

I've made a text text on my server :

<?php

include('simple_html_dom.php'); 

$cl = <<< TEST
<div class="product-detail__TextPrice-sc-1k47nh4-0 hECROB d-flex align-items-center  justify-content-md-start">
  <div class="mb-0 weight-bold price">
    ₹<!-- --> <!-- -->126.00
  </div>
  <div class="mrp ml-md-4 ml-lg-2 pd-mrp">
    ₹ 150.00
  </div>
  <div class=" w-50 margin-text ml-md-4 ml-lg-2">
    <span class="main-slab main-slab-detail">
      1 pc
    </span>
    Margin ₹ 24.00 | 16.00%
  </div>
</div>
TEST;

$html=new simple_html_dom();

$html->load($cl);

$ret = $html->find("div.mrp.ml-md-4.ml-lg-2.pd-mrp",0)->plaintext;

print_r($ret);

?>

it outputs :

₹ 150.00
