DOMXPath::query — Evaluates the given XPath expression
Executes the given XPath expression.
The XPath expression to execute.
The optional contextnode can be specified for doing relative XPath queries. By default, the queries are relative to the root element.
The optional registerNodeNS can be specified to disable automatic registration of the context node.
Returns a DOMNodeList containing all nodes matching the given XPath expression. Any expression which does not return nodes will return an empty DOMNodeList.
If the expression is malformed or the contextnode is invalid, DOMXPath::query() returns FALSE.

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";
}
?>
