Are you trying to do this in PHP or JavaScript? It sounds more like a JS task, unless there's a reason you're doing it in PHP. Please tell us a bit more.

If you know regular expressions, use the preg_replace function. Decide what the form of the tags will be. Will it always be a span tag? If you don't know the class name, you could just search for the end of the tag (>) and from there get your value up to </span>. Use the function to match these tags and remove them by replacing them with the empty string.

Yes its always span tag and class names are same for entire page. I am able to get content for single span.Here is my code

[PHP]preg_match_all( "/<span class=\"style1\ ".*span>/", $html, $matches);[/PHP]

But i dont know how to get for two span tags.

<span class="style1"> Cast</span><span class="style2"> : <a href="/test/">Mel Gibb</a></span>

Please suggest.
