dom - php - Having Issues extracting link information from within multiple nested tables and div using DOMXPath -

i'm trying extract specific link attributes within multiple nested table structure. document format old, explain rampant use of table element design page.

here relevant document i'm trying parse using domxpath:: each table width of 100% has same level of nested childs, i.e. tbody, tr, td, a, div, etc.

<table width="1000px">     <tbody>         <tr></tr>         <tr>             <td>                 <br>                 <span></span>                 <span></span>                 <div></div>                 <div>                     <div></div>                     <div>                         <center></center>                         <hr>                         <table width="100%"></table>                         <table width="100%">                             <tbody>                                 <tr>                                     <td>                                         <a name="a"></a>                                         <div style="width: 230px;">                                             <a href="owlbook/manufacturer.aspx?manufacturerid=124">owl chant book</a>                                             <br>                                         </div>                                     </td>                                 </tr>                             </tbody>                         </table>                         <table width="100%"></table>                         <table width="100%"></table>                         <table width="100%"></table>                         <table width="100%"></table>                         <table width="100%"></table>                         <table width="100%"></table>                         <table width="100%"></table>                         <table width="100%"></table>                         <table width="100%"></table>                         <table width="100%"></table>                         <table width="100%"></table>                         <table width="100%"></table>                         <table width="100%"></table>                         <table width="100%"></table>                         <table width="100%"></table>                     </div>                 </div>             </td>         </tr>     </tbody> </table> 

and here code i'm using parse it. i'm trying value of href , textvalue of anchor nested deep within divs.

public function parsemanufacturernodes($results) {     error_reporting(0);     $this->dom = new domdocument();     $this->dom->loadhtml($results);      $this->domquery = new domxpath($this->dom);     $this->nodes = $this->domquery->query("//table/tbody/tr/td/div/div/div/div/table/tbody/tr/td/div");     var_dump($this->nodes);     foreach ($this->nodes $this->eachnodes) {         echo $this->eachnodes;     }     error_reporting(1);  } 

this doesn't works @ all. i've tried changing query parameters match document structure without avail. var_dump returns.

object(domnodelist)#44 (1) { ["length"]=> int(0) } 

how extract anchor attributes each of divs within inner table has width of 100%. in case return href="owlbook/manufacturer.aspx?manufacturerid=124" , textvalue = owl chant book

please provide sort of help, don't think i'm making progress in finding viable solution.

thanks, maxx
