I was able to figure out how to run Simple_html_dom php library on codeigniter

I copied the file Simple_html_dom.php to 

/system/libraries

Then in my controller I call it using 

require_once('Simple_html_dom.php');

To use it I initialized it using this line

$html = new Simple_html_dom();

Load a page or link using the line

$html->load_file('http://www.google.com');

and parse or find elements using this line

$html->find('table tr td')->plaintext;

works fine and fits right to what I needed to do.

Hopefully that helps.

More possibilities include DOMDocument::loadHTML and PHP Simple HTML DOM Parser
