It should be very simple. I am loading in php via DOMDocument();

    $doc = new DOMDocument();
    $doc->loadHTML($html);
    $el = $doc->getElementById('somethingId');

Lets say i have

<html><head></head><body><div id="somethingId">my
<span style="background:red">something else</span> 
information</div></body></html>

Q1. How to echo whats inside that element ("my information") from $el?

Q2. How to echo whats inside and including span data (like innerHTML in javascript)?

Answer to Q2:

$children = $el->childNodes;

foreach ($children as $child) { 

    $innerHTML .= $child->ownerDocument->saveXML( $child ); 

}

echo $innerHTML

echo ($el->nodeValue);
