Answer 1

You can use xpath selector

<?php

$html = '<span class="file-count-label" ng-init="totalResultCount=304575" ng-show="totalResultCount" style="">304,575</span>';
$doc = new DOMDocument;
$doc->loadHTML($html);
$finder = new DomXPath($doc);
$classname="file-count-label";
$videos = $finder->query("//*[contains(@class, '$classname')]");

foreach($videos as $e)
{
  echo $e->nodeValue;
}
