xPath, getting tabular data

Question

I have a HTML thus like:

<table> <tr> <th>Name</th> <th>Email</th> <th>Age</th> </tr> <tr> <td>Joe Bloggs</td> <td>[email protected]</td> <td>40</td> </tr> <tr> <td>John Doe</td> <td>[email protected]</td> <td>40</td> </tr> </table>

Is there a way using xPath to get the first 2 columns, i.e the Name and Email fields?

I can get the table data using $data = $xpath->query( '//table'); just unsure how to get only the first 2 columns.

Many thanks

Get the first two td's:

//table/tr/td[position() <= 2]
