    You can use:

    preg_match_all("!<span[^>]+>(.*?)</span>!", $str, $matches);
    

    Then your text will be inside the first capture group (as seen on rubular)

    With that out of the way, note that regex shouldn’t be used to parse HTML. You will be better off using an XML parser, unless it’s something really, really simple.
