Question

I have the following html string example. I want to add tags around the naked text:

$html='<span>text1</span>  text2   <a href="yahoo.com">yeahoo</a>   text4   <div>abc</div>  xyz';

assuming correctly formatted html I would like to add a tag (E.g. ) around text2, text4 and xyz.

I envision a simple function that is called: $resHtml=addTagsToNakedText($html,'<span>','</span>');

The net result should be:

'<span>text1</span><span>  text2   </span><a href="yahoo.com">yeahoo</a><span>   text4   </span><div>abc</div><span>  xyz</span>'

Any ideas how to do this? I assume this needs some regular expression capabilities.

Thanks
