Count html tags by php in string

Question

Hi there I am requesting you to tell me the simple php script to count special html tag, like <p> in string. I had no idea to try this, since I am the beginner in php.

Answer 1

You can make use of DOMDocument Class for that .

<?php
$html='<p>Hey hello</p><b>Hey this is bold tag</b><p>Another paragraph</p>';
$dom = new DOMDocument;
$dom->loadHTML($html);
echo $dom->getElementsByTagName('p')->length;// "prints" 2
