PHP - Extracting text from HTML

Question

I have a long string of HTML that contains

<p>
<img>
<span> 

and a bunch of other tags.

Is there anyway of extracting ONLY the text within the tags from this string?

Answer 1

If you want to extract all text within any tags, the simple way is to strip the tags: strip_tags()

If you want to remove specific tags, maybe this SO questions helps.
