Parse HTML And Traverse DOM In PHP?

I love how easily I can traverse an HTML document with jQuery, and I’d love to be able to do it in PHP. There are a few classes, but the PHP binding for Tidy seems to be where it’s at. The Zend dev pages make it look that way, anyway.

Surely a nice way to cope with not strictly valid HTML Code. But: how would you do the traversing? Tidy does not offer very comfortable functions for navigating inside an HTMLs DOM.

An example: jQuery offers possibilities such as “find all elements of class xy and change their first child’s background colour to yellow”. How could anything like this be performed in PHP?
