Simple HTML DOM - (direct) child selector

How can i get the inner text of the a element with text Title?

I'm trying with $html->find('#someid p > a') but it includes all nested descendant a elements.

<div id="someid">
    <tr>... Same structure ...<tr>
    <tr>
        <td>
            <p>
                <a href="#">Title</a>
                <br>
                <span class="someClass">
                    <a href="#">text1</a>
                    <a href="#">text2</a>
                    <a href="#">text3</a>
                    <a href="#">text4</a>
                </span>
            </p>
            <p>text5</p>
        </td>
        <td>text6</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>...<tr>
</div>

  • Try:

    $e = $html->find(''#someid p > a', 0);
//or type first_child
