PHP - how to turn an HTML string with tags into a regular string?

Question

PHP

There are ips, but they are veiled with a bunch of random spans, divs and all sorts of other garbage. It is necessary to isolate the ip itself without the rest of the garbage.

Answer 1

1) get a collection of elements by splitting on the BR tag
2) for each element do window.getComputedStyle(elem)
3) check display:none, visibility:hidden, opacity:0, position:absolute/fixed etc to filter out garbage

Answer 2

Google towards php simple html dom , namely you want the plaintext of the entire page.
