Question

I need to find <p> tag inside a string. Then I want to store the string from (including)

tag into another variable.

For example I have string name firstString;

firstString = "<div id='tab-1'><p>This is first string</p></div>"

I want second string to be

secondString = "<p>This is first string</p>"

I need only first <p> tag.

DOMDocument::loadHTML. Maybe not the fastest option, but should be simple.

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

$xp = new DOMXPath($dom);

$res = $xp->query('//p');

$firstParagraph = $res[0]->nodeValue;
