So my code returns only <p> </p> tag text only. I need the <p> </p> with table </table> tag content also.

Answer 1

First you should learn to add your code in the post with in code tags which will be easier for use to read and answer. According to your code your code only check for <p part and that part has to be at the start of the line if it's not there your code will skip to the next.

To solve this you might have to check the <td and then the <p use a if ... else to differentiate between codes.

With simple you would have to do something like this:

foreach($html->find('p') as $p){
  if($p->nextSibling() && $p->nextSibling()->tag == 'table'){
    $table = $p->nextSibling();
    echo $p;
    echo $table;
  }
}
