Answer 1

Finally did so.

$a='';
  $j=0;
  while (strcmp('Employment type',$a)) {
   $j++;
   $a=$htm3->find('[@id=box-Details]/div[2]/div/div/dl/dt['.$j.']',0)->plaintext;

Answer 2

https://github.com/imangazaliev/didom - your code should work:

use DiDom\Document;
...
$document = new Document($html);
$elements = $documents->xpath('//*[text()="foo"]');

var_dump($elements);
