        <head id="Head1"><title>
            Online-Edu-Help.com
        </title></head>

        <body>
            <form name="form1" method="post" action="Post.aspx" id="form1">
        <input type="hidden" name="__VIEWSTATE" id="__VIEWSTATE" value="/wEPDwUKMTYxNTMxOTk3MGRkTKiZyXxt1USQVFZyWkCnecSqXls=" />

            <span id="lblError"></span>

        $dom = new DomDocument();
        $dom->loadHTML($html);

        $lblNoError = $dom->getElementById('lblNoError'); 
            echo $lblNoErrorvalue = $lblNoError->nodeValue;
        $lblError = $dom->getElementById('lblError'); 
            echo $lblErrorvalue = $lblError->nodeValue;
        ?>
