```javascript use Symfony\Component\DomCrawler\Crawler;

$html = '

Hello World

'; $crawler = new Crawler($html);

// Find all elements using CSS selectors $elements = $crawler->filter('.title')i; // or XPath $elements = $crawler->filterXPath('//h1');

// Print the text content of the elements foreach ($elements as $element) { echo $element->textContent; } ```
