    The following PHP DOMDOcument code:

    $id = $div->getAttribute('id');
if (strpos($id,'post-') !== false) {

    can be expressed in Xpath 1.0 with a Xpath string functionDocs:

    //div[contains(@id, 'post-')]

    Reading: Any div element which has an id attribute containing the string post-. By the rules of Xpath you can further extend the expression like selectinig the title children of all those:

    //div[contains(@id, 'post-')]/title
