                    <a href="#">text3</a>
                    <a href="#">text4</a>
                </span>
            </p>

        </td>
        <td>text6</td>

Answer 1

Try:

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

Answer 2

Have you tried using filter(':first') or filter(':first-child')? You may also try using the ->firstChild lookup.

I assume you need the first descendent. Otherwise, you could consider using an id for the specific anchor tag.
