Extracting HTML Data with Curl / PHP

I have the following code in PHP 

$ch = curl_init("http://blog.com");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$output = curl_exec($ch);      
curl_close($ch);
echo $output;

I am trying to import the block of code in between <div id="content"> and </div> I would like to know the best way of extracting this code.

Using curl, the $output will be an String, so create a DOM using it:

$html = str_get_html($content);

Than, get the content:

$content = $html->find('#content');

DOM would be the best way. Here's a detailed documentation: http://php.net/manual/en/book.dom.php
