At the moment I am scraping some data from another website and I'm having problems about how to get the first 5 elements only.
$travelguide_row =
$travelguide_xpath->query('//div[@class="traveltips"]//span|//div[@class="traveltips"]//p');
Can I add more syntaxes after //span and //p?
If yes, how?

The intent is to locate the fields using XPath. Go to the First name tab and right click >> Inspect. On inspecting the web element, it will show an input tag and attributes like class and id. Use the id and these attributes to construct XPath which, in turn, will locate the first name field.
For example if both text fields have //input[@id='something'] then you can edit the first field xpath as (//input[@id='something'])[1] and the second field's xpath as (//input[@id='something'])[2] in object repository.
XPath text() function is a built-in function of the Selenium web driver that locates items based on their text. It aids in the identification of certain text elements as well as the location of those components within a set of text nodes. The elements that need to be found should be in string format.
You can use predicate expression [position() < 6] to achieve that. The following XPath should get you the first 5 elements matched by your original XPath expression :
(//div[@class="traveltips"]//span|//div[@class="traveltips"]//p)[position() < 6]
