How to retrieve multiple data from file_get_html() function?

Question

I am trying to retrieve data from file_get_html($url).

$html = file_get_html($url);

foreach ($html->find("h1") as $key => $value){
echo $value."<br>";
}
foreach($html->$find("p") as $key => $edu){
echo $edu;
}

I am trying to fetch more than one value from the url. But I get this error message. I get the result for $value , but I get error with the next one.

Notice: Undefined variable: find in ...\parse.php on line 18

Fatal error: Method name must be a string in ...\parse.php on line 18

This is line 18

foreach($html->$find("p") as $key => $edu){

EDIT: Database Issue

$html = file_get_html($url);

foreach ($html->find("span[class=full-name]") as $key => $name){

echo $name."<br>";
}

Database looks like:

< span class="first-name" > Tony Stark

$result = mysqli_query($con,"INSERT INTO personal (name) VALUES ('$name')");
if (!$result){
    echo "Error!<br>";
}

The problem here is that you are using $html->$find("p") which in your case, find() is a method, but you treat it as a variable.

Try $html->find("p")

Hope it helps!
Keep on coding!
