Can only get one result Dom Crawler

trying to get all the content within the h2 (to get the title of the article) in the div id=firehoselist but the following code only returns the first result. Any ideas please 

    $crawler = new Crawler($content);

    $crawler->filterXPath('//div[@id="firehoselist"]//*')->each(function (Crawler $node) use (&$results) {

        $results[] = trim($node->filter('h2')->text());

 });

content I'm trying to scrape is too messy to post here, but it is from the slashdot org website

Solution

  • //div[@id="firehoselist"] is looking for every element which has the ID of firehoselist and will only get the first result of this entry $node->filter('h2')->text().

    What you need is to get every #firehoselist h2 of the parsed html:

    $crawler->filterXPath('//div[@id="firehoselist"]//h2')->each(function (Crawler $node) use (&$results) {

        $results[] = trim($node->text());

 });
