You can get the content by

$Content = file_get_contents($url);

Then explode it by

$Head = explode( '<div class="module question_card_categories  jsparams js-question_card_categories">' , $Content );

And explode it till the </div> by

$Body = explode("</div>" , $Head[1] );

So, If this is your html file

<div class="module question_card_categories  jsparams js-question_card_categories">Hellow Here i am </div>>

You can get the content by

<?php
$url = 'Yourfile.html';
$Content = file_get_contents($url);
$Head = explode( '<div class="module question_card_categories  jsparams js-question_card_categories">' , $Content );
$Body = explode("</div>" , $Head[1] );
echo $Body[0];

Result :

Hellow Here i am

Here is the Eval

Update :

As the user want to get the categories of this url

<?php
$url = 'http://www.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_verb_of_receipt';
$Content = file_get_contents($url);
$Head = explode( '<ul class="categoryMenu categories">' , $Content );
$Body = explode("</ul>" , $Head[1] );
echo $Body[0];

You could get the content of the div as:

$tag = $html->find('div[class=module question_card_categories  jsparams js-question_card_categories]', 0);

echo  htmlspecialchars($tag); //shows you the tag and content

echo  $tag->innertext; //shows the text within the div

See the manual
