Note that even though getElementsByTagName returns a NodeList which is defined as a list of DOMNodes, you're actually getting a list of DOMElements. That allows to call getElementsByTagName on each of the results.

$tables = $doc->getElementsByTagName('table');
foreach ($tables as $table) {
  $trs = $table->getElementsByTagName('tr');
  // etc...
}

Be aware that this function returns all descendants, not just immediate children.

A simple function that uses this method to print the nodes it finds in an xml document. Improvements welcomed.

<?php
function printTags($tag){

 
$node = $this->doc->getElementsByTagName($tag);          
   for(
$c = 0; $c<$node->length; $c++){
    
$text[$c] =$this->doc->saveXML($node->item($c));
     echo
$text[$c];

   }

 
}
?>
