how can I get the text data of a div without the child divs text data

<div class="date">   <div class="rating">good</div>   movie review - mar 24, 2013 </div>  <div class="date">   movie review - mar 23, 2013 </div>

what xpath query "movie review .." part without rating div content (where says good). rating div present not.

i tried sort of thing when div node $reviewnode:

  $thedate = $xpath->query('text()[1]',$reviewdate)->item(0) ;

but catches rating div contents too.

the parsed doc html5.

this should return divs' text children contain string "movie":

//div[@class = "date"]/text()[contains(., "movie")]

if want first non-whitespace text node, can use

//div[@class = "date"]/text()[normalize-space(.) != ''][1]
