XPATH - how to use multiple paths - arrays

Question

I am using xpath to retrieve the text value of some links (a) in a given element. I then push the results to an array called $tableau. Everything is working fine :) The thing is, I would like now to retrieve also the href of those links. So have both the text value and the href in my array. The other thing is, I have no idea how to do that. Hope someone can help. Thank you in advance for your replies. Cheers. Marc
$url = 'http://www.somesite.com';
$path = '.../a';
$tableau = array();
$dom = new DOMDocument();
#$dom->loadHTML($url);
$xpath = new DomXPath($dom);
$x = $xpath->query($path);
foreach ($x as $value)
array_push($tableau, $value->nodeValue);

Answer 1

Try this:
foreach ($x as $value)
{
array_push($tableau, $value->nodeValue, $value->getAttribute('href'));
}

Answer 2

you can use an associative array
the code might look like this(not sure abt the syntax though)
arr = [ "1" => [ "text" => "value1" , "href" => "value1"],
"2" => [ "text" => "value2", "href" => "value2"]];
the xpath xpression to retrieve the href of all the anchor tags is something like this
("//a/#href");
// --> select a from all the descendants of the root
a --> select the anchor tag
#href --> select the href of this anchor (# to select attributes)
convert this expression to equivalent PHP code

Thanks to the hints given by javram and vireshad I manage to find the solution. See here below:
$url = 'http://www.somesite.com';
$path = '.../a';
$tableau = array();
$dom = new DOMDocument();
#$dom->loadHTML($url);
$xpath = new DomXPath($dom);
$x = $xpath->query($path);
foreach ($x as $value)
array_push($tableau, array($value->nodeValue, $value->getAttribute('href')));
