but When i try the below code in xpather re result is shown
but when i enter the xpath in the php evaluate , nothing is shown..

Can some one please help me to get the proper xpath for the Google search results ??

You don't always need to start from the root node of an xml document:




Which data from the SERPs are you trying to get? The above will get you the actual URLs of the results.

Install Firebug for Firefox, it has XPath capture function.

Go as simple as possible, view source and find unique attribute then make this
//*[@attribute='unique_value_of_tag_you_want'] asteriks means any tag. If that does not hel try changing apostrophes from ' to " and vice versa this can cause problems. Simply experiment with different xml until you hit the right one.
