Getting the first element and second element from a specific tag in simple HTML DOM

I have two div tags with the same class name one after the other:-

HTML:

<div class='random'>
    <div class="name">
        <h1>Title 1</h1>
        <p>Description</p>
    </div>
    <div class="name">
        <h1>Title 2</h1>
        <p>Other Description</p>
    </div>
</div>
<div class='random'>
    <div class="name">
        <h1>Title 2-1</h1>
        <p>Description2</p>
    </div>
    <div class="name">
        <h1>Title 2-2</h1>
        <p>Other Description2</p>
    </div>
</div>
.....
.....

Now I want to get both descriptions seperately:

Output 1 desired:-
Description

Output 2 desired:-
Other Description

But My output:
Description
Other Description

Code:

foreach($html->find('div.name p') as $value)
{
    echo $value->innertext;
}

Is there any way such that we can specify only the first class or second class to be printed?

Just use this code

echo  $htmlEN->find('.name h1', 0)->innertext;
echo  $htmlEN->find('.name p', 0)->innertext;

and

echo  $htmlEN->find('.name h1', 1)->innertext;
echo  $htmlEN->find('.name p', 1)->innertext;

......

// Find (N)th anchor, returns element object or null if not found (zero based)
$ret = $html->find('a', 0);

// Find lastest anchor, returns element object or null if not found (zero based)
$ret = $html->find('a', -1);

Try this. It helps!

First class(es):

$html->find('div.name[1] p')

Second class(es):

$html->find('div.name[2] p')

Try this code

$count = count($html->find('div.name p'));


 for($index=0; $index<$count; $index++)
{
$text = getElementByIndex($html, $index);
echo "output $index : $text";
}

function getElementByIndex($html,$index)
{
return $html->find('div.name p', $index);
}

Hope it helps you ..

PHP Simple HTML DOM Parser Manual

mixed find ( string $selector [, int $index] )  Find children by the CSS selector. Returns the Nth element object if index is set, otherwise, return an array of object.

Don't use a loop, instead do something like this:

echo "Output 1 desired:-<BR>";
echo $html->find('div.name p', 0) . "<BR>";
echo "Output 1 desired:-<BR>";
echo $html->find('div.name p', 1);
