I have a long string and part of that string is this: <span itemprop="ratingValue">9.26</span>. I want to get 9.26 as a string (using explode?). Thanks for any help. PS: it is html code saved as string.

4You should use an HTML parser library, such as `DOMDocument`. – Barmar Mar 16 '17 at 15:49

use preg_match and regular expression – bxN5 Mar 16 '17 at 15:50

Using preg_match():
$input = 'verylongstring<withother>random</withother>
tags<span itemprop="ratingValue"><9.26</span>';
preg_match('~<span itemprop="ratingValue">(.*?)</span>~', $input, $output);
echo $output[1]; // 9.26

*"a long string and part of that string is"*… this'll probably match a bit too much… – deceze Mar 16 '17 at 15:52
