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";
}
?>
