How about a comment right above this that says what it returns. I actually wasn't 100% sure what "node name" was. I assumed correctly that it was the element name (e.g.`body`) but I wasn't sure! // will return "body" $tag = $crawler->filterXPath('//body/')->nodeName(); Copy link ContributorAuthor fejeseJul 30, 2014 Choose a reason for hiding this comment The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others.Learn more. Makes sense to clarify if it's not 100% clear. However your example is not correct. The filter returns all children of`body` so it will return the HTML tag name of the first element under`body`. To clear the confusion, how about this: Access the node name (HTML tag name) of the first node of the current selection (eg. "p" or "div"): // will return the node name (HTML tag name) of the first child element under <body>$tag =$crawler->filterXPath('//body/')->nodeName();

		Access the value of the first node of the current selection::

		$message = $crawler->filterXPath('//body/p')->text();
