Xpath is indeed the way to go. For example...

/* .. your code.. */
$data = file_get_contents($url);
$inDoc = new DOMDocument();$inDoc->preserveWhiteSpace =
false;@$inDoc->loadHTML($data);
$xpath = new DOMXPath($inDoc);$xlinks =
$xpath->query('//div[@class="b"]/a');for ($a = 0, $z =
$xlinks->length; $a < $z; ++$a) {
	$link = $xlinks->item($a);
	$href = $xlink->attributes->getNamedItem('href')->value;

}

To be safe, you should use an ID instead of a class, though.
