I am trying to capture the value of the integer in the HTML code below

<span class="ratingCount">1,602</span>

Here I want to store the value 1,602 as an integer in a variable (Let's say $number). Can anyone help me, please ?

Maybe [`strip_tags`](http://php.net/manual/en/function.strip-tags.php) will work? – Wiktor Stribiżew May 05 '17 at 11:57
I am using Curl to get the whole HTML page and this code is just one part of the page – lee joe May 05 '17 at 11:59

Then use a DOM parser, why regex? XPath will be simple: `//span[@class="ratingCount"]/text()` – Wiktor Stribiżew May 05 '17 at 12:00
