parsing

I was trying to do it with "getElementsByTagName", but it wasn't working, I'm new to using DOMDocument to parse HTML, as I used to use regex until yesterday some kind fokes here told me that DOMEDocument would be better for the job, so I'm giving it a try :)

I google around for a while looking for some explains but didn't find anything that helped (not with the class anyway)

So I want to capture "Capture this text 1" and "Capture this text 2" and so on.

Doesn't look to hard, but I can't figure it out :(

<div class="main">
    <div class="text">
    Capture this text 1
    </div>
</div>

<div class="main">
    <div class="text">
    Capture this text 2
    </div>
</div>
