In my php script, a variable has following html.
<div>
first line starting text <span class='highlight blink'> first line middlte text1 </span> first line end text.
second line starting text <span class="target"> second line middlte text2 </span> second line end text
<div class="highlight blink"> third line text</div>
</div>
I want to remove tags with highlight class so above html looks like this (Using regex expression only)
<div>
first line starting text first line middlte text1 first line end text.
second line starting text <span class="target"> second line middlte text2 </span> second line end text
third line text
</div>
I tried with this but it was failed to replace div tag which have multiple class (see third line, div tag must be removed)
$data = preg_replace('#<(\w+) class=["\']highlight["\']>(.*)<\/\1>#', '\2', $data);
I tried with this but it replace entire tag with classes. (See second line, span tag with target class should be stay untouched )
$data = preg_replace('#<(\w+) class=["\'](\w+)["\']>(.*)<\/\1>#', '\2', $data);
Anybody can help thanx in advance, I am trying it for 2 days
