Getting label name of extra user fields

Question

I'm using the plugin "Extra User Fields" to add extra fields to the user's profile. I know how to get the value of the field (get_user_meta/get_author_meta), but I also want the label as a string, but I don't want to get the full code (like <label>Label</label><input value="value" /> etc., because I want to be able to do with the label and the value what I please.

So, what function (or tag) should I use to get the label value of an user field?

If you can already get the label BUT it comes with the input, and you are doing this in PHP, then do this:

<?php
    # ...
    # Your code which produces the input + label data into $data
    # ...
    $document = new DOMDocument();
    $document->loadHTML( $data );
    $xpath = new DOMXPath( $document );
    $entries = $xpath->evaluate("//label");
    $results = array();
    foreach( $entries as $entry ) {
        $results[] = '<' . $entry->tagName . '>' . $entry->nodeValue .  '</' . $entry->tagName . '>';
    }
    print_r($results);
?>
