Extract data from HTML table row column

Question

How to extract data from HTML table in PHP. The data is in this format

Table 1

<tr><td class="body" valign="top"><a href="example"><b>DATA</b></a></td><td class="body" valign="top">Data_Text</td></tr>

Table 2

<tr><th><div id="Data">Data</div></th><td>Data_Text_1</td><td>Data_Text_2</td></tr>

Table 3

<tr><td width="120"><a href="example" target="_blank">DATA</a></td><td>Data_Text</td></tr>

I want to get the Data & Data_Text or (Data_Text_1 & Data_Text_2) from the 3 tables.
I've used

$html = file_get_contents($link);
$doc = new DOMDocument();
@$doc->loadHTML($html);
$xpath = new DOMXPath($doc);
$nodes  = $xpath->query('//td[]');
$nodes2 = $xpath->query('//td[]');

But it cant show any data !

I'll offer bounty for this question on day after tomorrow

Solution

Using simplehtmldom.php...

<?php

include 'simple_html_dom.php';

$html = file_get_html('thetable.html');

$rows = $html->find('tr');
foreach($rows as $row) {
    echo $row->plaintext;
}

?>

or use 'td'...

<?php

include 'simple_html_dom.php';

$html = file_get_html('thetable.html');

$cells = $html->find('td');
foreach($cells as $cell) {
    echo $cell->plaintext;
}

?>

There seems to be some mistake: You cannot obtain "Data_Text" from Table 2 -- it doesn't have a text node with such string value. Please, edit and correct.
