XPath and PHP: Parse from the nth instance of an element

Question

Assuming I have just used an XPath query to get the 5th instance of the bookelement in a sample xml file that looks something like this:

<books>
<book id=1></book>
<book id=2></book>
<book id=3></book>
...etc
</books>

How can I get the next 10 bookelements after the one I've just queried? I'm using PHP and XML DOM.

following-sibling::book[position() <= 10]

Does he need to use the current node as the context like: `$xpath->query('following-sibling::book[position() <= 10]', $currentBookNode);`? – prodigitalson Dec 02 '10 at 07:03
