Answer 1

If you text is always at the same position , try this:

$html->find('text', 2)->plaintext; // should return 111111

Answer 2

It depends on what you mean by "avoiding the p tags".

If you just want to remove the tags, then just running strip_tags() on it should work for what you want.

If you actually want to just return "11111" (ie. strip the tags and their contents) then this isn't a viable solution. For that, something like this may work:

$myDiv = $html->find('div'); // wherever your the div you're ending up with is
$children = $myDiv->children; // get an array of children
foreach ($children AS $child) {
    $child->outertext = ''; // This removes the element, but MAY NOT remove it from the original $myDiv
}
echo $myDiv->innertext;

Here is my solution

I want to get the Primary Text part only.

 $title_obj = $article->find(".ofr-descptxt",0); //Store the Original Tree  ie) h3 tag
 $title_obj->children(0)->outertext = ""; //Unset <br/>
 $title_obj->children(1)->outertext = "";  //Unset the last Span
 echo $title_obj; //It has only first element

Edited: If you have PHP errors Try to enclose with If else or try my lazy code

   ($title_obj->children(0))?$title_obj->children(0)->outertext="":"";
   ($title_obj->children(1))?$title_obj->children(1)->outertext = "":"";

$wordlist = array("<p>", "</p>")

foreach($wordlist as $word)
     $string = str_replace($word, "", $string);
