Replace // with descendant:: in the second and third xpath, because // tells xpath to search for this evrywhere element in xml, and not in a specific node (as needed), and $ child is NOT a separate XML, descendat:: means any node child

 @$this->dom->loadHTML($page); $xpath = new DOMXPath($this->dom); // perform step #1 $childElements = $xpath->query("//*[@class='content']"); $lista = ''; foreach ($childElements as $child) { // perform step #2 $textChildren = $xpath->query("descendant::*[@class='title']", $child); foreach ($textChildren as $n) { echo $n->nodeValue.'<br>'; } $linkChildren = $xpath->query("descendant::*[@class='link']", $child); foreach ($linkChildren as $n) { echo $n->nodeValue.'<br>'; } }
