How parse html in php?

I know we can use PHP DOM to parse HTML using PHP. I found a lot of questions here on Stack Overflow too. But I have a specific requirement. I have an HTML content like below

    Chapter 1


    This is chapter 1


    Chapter 2


    This is chapter 2


    Chapter 3


    This is chapter 3

I want to parse the above HTML and save the content into two different arrays like:

$heading and $content

$heading = array['Chapter 1','Chapter 2','Chapter 3'];
$content = array['This is chapter 1','This is chapter 2','This is chapter 3'];

I can achieve this simply using jQuery. But I am not sure, if that's the right way. It would be great if someone can point me to the right direction. Thanks in advance.

I have used domdocument and domxpath to get the solution, you can find it at:
