If you would like to parse an html page with PHP, you could use PHP’s DOMDocument extension, as such:

// a new dom object
$dom = new domDocument;
// load the html into the object
$dom->loadHTML($html);
// keep white space
$dom->preserveWhiteSpace = true;
// nicely format output
$dom ->formatOutput   = true;
//get element by tag name
$htmlRootElement = $dom->getElementsByTagName('html');
echo htmlspecialchars($dom->saveHTML(), ENT_QUOTES);

Or you could do this with JavaScript on the client side:

var htmlRootElement = document.getElementsByTagName("html");
alert(htmlRootElement.innerHTML);
