Getting the Tag name of a element crawled with DomCrawler in PHP

I am crawling my html view with PHPUnit, using DomCrawler

$element = $crawler->filter("#myElement");

Once I have the element, how could I know the kind of tag that it is? (<input>, <select>, ...)

I know I could do this:

$element = $crawler->filter("input#myElement");

but I need to extract the name of the tag, and store it in a variable

Update: nowadays it is

$element = $crawler->filter("#myElement");
$name = $element->nodeName();

... which is actually a wrapper for

$crawler->getNode(0)->nodeName

As far as I can tell it, this should work:

$element = $crawler->filter("#myElement");
$name = $element->getNode(0)->tagName;

The Crawler::getNode(index) returns a DOMElement that has the tagName read only field.
