Thank you for writing this. It helped me work out how to use DOMXPath!

I wanted to extract an rss feed from a html document if it existed. Here’s what I came up with:

$html = new DOMDocument();
@$html->loadHtmlFile(‘http://www.example.com’);
$xpath = new DOMXPath( $html );
$nodelist = $xpath->query( “//link[@rel='alternate']/@href” );
foreach ($nodelist as $n){
echo $n->nodeValue.”\n”;
}

my Xpath expression for a value from web is :

/html/body/div[@id='jive-forumpage']/table[3]/tbody/tr/td[1]/div[1]/div/table/tbody/tr[1]/td[3]/a[@id='jive-thread-1']

i can not query it. muss i remove tbody ?
