I want to extract only text from a php string.
This php string contains html code like tags or etc.
So I only need a simple text from this string.
This is the actual string:
<div class="devblog-index-content battlelog-wordpress">
<p><strong>The celebration of the Recon class in our second </strong><a href="http://blogs.battlefield.com/2014/10/bf4-class-week-recon/" target="_blank">BF4 Class Week</a><strong> continues with a sneaky stroll down memory lane. Learn more about how the Recon has changed in appearance, name and weaponry over the years…</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p style="text-align:center"><a href="http://eaassets-a.akamaihd.net/battlelog/prod/954660ddbe53df808c23a0ba948e7971/en_US/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/bf4-history-of-recon-1.jpg?v=1412871863.37"><img alt="bf4-history-of-recon-1" class="aligncenter" src="http://eaassets-a.akamaihd.net/battlelog/prod/954660ddbe53df808c23a0ba948e7971/en_US/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/bf4-history-of-recon-1.jpg?v=1412871863.37" style="width:619px" /></a></p>
I want to show this from the string:
The celebration of the Recon class in our second BF4 Class Week continues with a sneaky stroll down memory lane. Learn more about how the Recon has changed in appearance, name and weaponry over the years…
Actually this text will be placed in meta description tag so I don't need any HTML in meta tag. How can I perform this? Any ideas and thoughts about this technique ?

How to extract substring from a string in PHP. Answer: Use the PHP substr() function. The PHP substr() function can be used to get the substring i.e. the part of a string from a string. This function takes the start and length parameters to return the portion of string. Example. $str = "Hello World!";
Originally Answered: How I can extract only text data from HTML pages? You will have to a bit specific on the text part so as to which text exactly you want to fetch for example a div with some id etc, you can either use Php, it has file_get_contents () function or even jquery with the .text () function etc.
The last character in the input string has an index of -1. Use the negative length to omit a length number of characters in the returned substring. Use the PHP mb_substr () function to extract a substring from a string with non-ASCII characters.

You may try:
echo(strip_tags($your_string));

Another option is to use Html2Text. It will do a much better job than strip_tags, especially if you want to parse complicated HTML code.
Extracting text from HTML is tricky, so your best bet is to use a library built for this purpose.
https://github.com/mtibben/html2text
Install using composer:
composer require html2text/html2text
Basic usage:
$html = new \Html2Text\Html2Text('Hello, "<b>world</b>"');
echo $html->getText(); // Hello, "WORLD"
