As @stof mentions in #10206, each node in the Crawler can belong to a different \DOMDocument. Therefore, I've made each node do its own XPath, relative to itself, and add all the results to a new Crawler. This way, all resulting nodes are still part of their original \DOMDocument and thus can reach all of their parent nodes.
No current tests break on this change. I've added a new test for this case, by checking if the number of parents is correct after obtaining a node through chaining of `filterXPath()`.
Now for BC: I can think of a number of cases where this change would give a different result. However, it's debatable/unclear if:
- the old behavior was a bug in the first place (which would validate this change), or
- the old behavior was intended (which would make this a BC breaking change)
As an example, consider the following HTML:
```html
<div name="a"><div name="b"><div name="c"></div></div></div>
```
What would happen if we run this:
```php
echo $crawler->filterXPath('//div')->filterXPath('div')->filterXPath('div')->attr('name');
```
Aside from breaking reachability of the parent nodes by chaining, with the original code it would echo 'a'.
With this patch it would echo 'c', which, to me, makes more sense.

What is Symfony2?
Symfony2 is a PHP 5.3 full-stack web framework. It is written with speed and flexibility in mind. It allows developers to build better and easy to maintain websites with PHP.
Symfony can be used to develop all kind of websites, from your personal blog to high traffic ones like Dailymotion or Yahoo! Answers.
Requirements
Symfony2 is only supported on PHP 5.3.3 and up.
Be warned that PHP versions before 5.3.8 are known to be buggy and might not work for you:
-
before PHP 5.3.4, if you get "Notice: Trying to get property of non-object", you've hit a known PHP bug (see https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52083 and https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=50027);
-
before PHP 5.3.8, if you get an error involving annotations, you've hit a known PHP bug (see https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=55156).
-
PHP 5.3.16 has a major bug in the Reflection subsystem and is not suitable to run Symfony2 (https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62715)
Installation
The best way to install Symfony2 is to download the Symfony Standard Edition available at http://symfony.com/download.
Documentation
The "Quick Tour" tutorial gives you a first feeling of the framework. If, like us, you think that Symfony2 can help speed up your development and take the quality of your work to the next level, read the official Symfony2 documentation.
