I have the following html:

<tbody>
<tr>
<td height="1" bgcolor="#B0B0D4">
<img width="200" height="1" alt="mytext" src="....."/>
</td>
</tr>

I can select for the img element with:

@$dom->loadHTML($html);
$xpath = new DOMXPath($dom);  HTML
$elt = $xpath->evaluate("//img[@alt='mytext']") ;

How can I select for the parent with php's xpath?

I've tried:

$elt = $xpath->evaluate("//tr//img[@alt='mytext']") ;
