$expression
[, DOMNode $contextnode
[, bool $registerNodeNS = TRUE
]] ) : DOMNodeList
Executes the given XPath expression.
expressionThe XPath expression to execute.
contextnode
The optional contextnode can be specified for
doing relative XPath queries. By default, the queries are relative to
the root element.
registerNodeNS
The optional registerNodeNS can be specified to
disable automatic registration of the context node.

<?php
$doc = new DOMDocument;

$doc->preserveWhiteSpace = false;

$xpath = new DOMXPath($doc);
// We starts from the root element
$query = '//book/chapter/para/informaltable/tgroup/tbody/row/entry[. = "en"]';
$entries = $xpath->query($query);
foreach ($entries as $entry) {
echo "Found {$entry->previousSibling->previousSibling->nodeValue}," .

We can also use the contextnode parameter to shorten
our expression:
<?php
$doc = new DOMDocument;
$doc->preserveWhiteSpace = false;
$doc->load('book.xml');
$xpath = new DOMXPath($doc);
$tbody = $doc->getElementsByTagName('tbody')->item(0);
// our query is relative to the tbody node
$query = 'row/entry[. = "en"]';
$entries = $xpath->query($query, $tbody);
foreach ($entries as $entry) {
echo "Found {$entry->previousSibling->previousSibling->nodeValue}," .
" by {$entry->previousSibling->nodeValue}\n";
}
?>
