I <span> what I <span>

[Alexander Ross]

I have an html snippet, and I want to remove any <span> tags that have a
specific attribute (class=none)

ex. The quick brown <span class="animal"> fox</span> jumped <span
class="none">ov er</span> the lazy dog

should become

The quick brown <span class="animal"> fox</span> jumped over the lazy dog

I'm guessing i need to use reg expressions, but I can't quite grasp how to
do this.

Thoguhts? Questions? Comments? Jokes? Humourous musings?

<?php
$str='The quick brown <span class="animal"> fox</span> jumped <span
class="none">ov er</span> the lazy dog';
echo htmlentities($s tr),'<br>';
echo
htmlentities(pr eg_replace('`<s pan[^>]*class=(\'|")?n one\1[^>]*>(.*)</span>`isU',"$2" ,$str));
?>

RegExp won't work in situations where there are nested spans. Might be safer
to just take out the 'class="none"'.

An HTML parser is needed to do it properly.
