PHP XPath Child Concat And New Line Issues - php

Question

I am using DOMXPath to query nodes in an HTML document which content I would like to extract.
I have the following HTML document:
<p class="data">
Immediate Text
<br>
Text In Second Line
<br>
E-Mail:
<script>Some Script Tag</script>
<a href="#">
<script>Another Script Tag</script>
Some Link In Third Line
</a>
<br>
Text In Last Line
</p>
I would like to receive the following result:
Immediate Text\r\nText In Second Line\r\nE-Mail: Some Link In Third Line\r\nText In Last Line
So far I have the following PHP code:
#...
libxml_use_internal_errors(true);
$dom = new \DOMDocument();
if(!$dom->loadHTML($html)) {
#...
}
$xpath = \DOMXPath($dom);
$result = $xpath->query("(//p[#class='data'])[1]/text()[not(parent::script)]");
Problems:
It does not include the child nodes' texts.
It does not include line breaks.

By using child axis / in /text() you'll get only direct child of current node context. To get all descendants, use descendant axis (//) instead.
To get both text node and <br>, you can try using //nodes() axis and filter further by node's type -to get nodes of type text node- or name -to get elements named br- :
(//p[#class='data'])[1]//nodes()[self::text() or self:br][not(parent::script)]
