I am trying read the h1 value from HTML string like below,

<h1>
<a href="http://ift.tt/1veLtRZ"> love me for a reason </a>
</h1>

I am using the following code but this returns empty value for the title but the content seems to working (next line) ? why

            libxml_use_internal_errors(true);
            $dom_document = new DOMDocument(); // CREATE A NEW DOCUMENT
            $dom_document->loadHTML(mb_convert_encoding($row['html'], 'HTML-ENTITIES', 'UTF-8')); // LOAD THE STRING INTO THE DOCUMENT

            $article_titles=$dom_document->getElementsByTagName("h1");
            $title = $article_titles->textContent;


            //this works fine 
            $article_contents=$dom_document->getElementByID("article-single");
            $content=$article_contents->textContent;
            libxml_use_internal_errors(false);
