I have this string which contains HTML code:

....
....
<span class="sss">some word</span>
....
....

How can I take only text from this line, in my case some word. I tried to do this using the substr and strpos functions. But, I have some problem.

Closing </span> tags were encountered in the string before
I do not know how long the text will be (in my case some word)

P.S That text not only non-html portion of the string value

Will that text be the only non-html portion of the string value? You could use `strip_tags` if it is. – IncredibleHat Jun 24 '18 at 13:14
Use HTML parser if it is valid HTML. – Jens Jun 24 '18 at 13:16
I would use the Symfony DomCrawler component: https://symfony.com/doc/current/components/dom_crawler.html – rpkamp Jun 24 '18 at 13:28

Just use [DOMDocument](http://php.net/manual/en/class.domdocument.php)/[Xpath](http://php.net/manual/en/class.domxpath.php), plenty of examples on the interwebs but here's a copy and paste solution... https://3v4l.org/RDdOr – Lawrence Cherone Jun 24 '18 at 13:35
@IncredibleHat, No – John Smith Jun 24 '18 at 13:47
If no, then pour into DOMDocument like Lawrence mentioned. – IncredibleHat Jun 24 '18 at 13:56
