Using xpath with 'contains' in php

Question

I have:

<div class="posts">
    <p class="post">info: abcd</p>
    ....
</div>

I am trying to use xpath to select the

containing "info: abcd"

I have:

$DNlist = $xpath->query("//div[@class='posts']/p[contains(., 'info:')]]");

This gives:

Severity: Warning
Message: DOMXPath::query(): Invalid expression

How can I fix this?

Yes, in my quick test with your HTML fragment, it works if you remove that extra `]` http://codepad.viper-7.com/pjK8WR — Michael Berkowski, Jul 03 '13 at 16:55
This question appears to be off-topic because it is about one extra incorrect bracket. — Jimbo, Jul 12 '13 at 11:33

There seems to be on square bracket (]) to much. Try:

"//div[@class='posts']/p[contains(., 'info:')]"
