Question

How can I use DOM parser to remove all attributes in span tags but except these two attributes,

<span style="text-decoration: underline;">cultura</span> accept

<span style="text-decoration: line-through;">heart</span> accept

reject this,

<span style="font-family: " lang="EN-US">May</span> accept

Is it possible?

My working code from the other post I made,

$content = '
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">cultura</span>l <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">heart</span>
<span style="font-family: " lang="EN-US">May</span>
';

$dom = new DOMDocument();
$dom->loadHTML($content);

foreach( $dom->getElementsByTagName( "span" ) as $span )
{

    foreach( $span->attributes as $attrib )
    {
        $span->removeAttributeNode( $attrib );
    }


}

$content =  $dom->saveHTML();

But this code will remove all attributes inside the span tags…

You need to do it manually.

DOM handles HTML attributes, not CSS properties.

You need to access the style attribute, explode it’s value using ; as a delimiter, then loop the array looking for the value you want to unset.
