getting all the input elements of a malformed form tag

I'm trying to get a list of all the input elements of a form tag and
am having some difficulty doing so. First, here's my XHTML:
>
<div>
<form action="">
<input type="text" name="a" />
</div>
<div>
<input type="text" name="b" />
</div>
<div>
<input type="submit" />
</form>
</div>
>
It isn't semantically correct XHTML but that doesn't stop web
developers from coding like that.
>
Anyway, in both Firefox and IE, if you visit a webpage containing the
above, and hit the Submit button, the resultant URL will have both a
and b defined via GET.
>
I'd like to be able to get a list of the same input parameters that
the browser does for a given form element. I had been using "//
form[1]//input" as an XPath query, but that doesn't work, here,
because not all of the inputs are children of the form element.
Indeed, if I use DOMDocument::saveHTML(), I get something more like
this:
>
<div>
<form action="">
<input type="text" name="a" />
</form>
</div>
<div>
<input type="text" name="b" />
</div>
<div>
<input type="submit" />
</div>
>
Any ideas?

Oh, something else just occurred to me after I made that previous
post. Why not just use the contents of $_GET?
