I <span> what I <span>

I have an html snippet, and I want to remove any <span> tags that have a
specific attribute (class=none)

ex. The quick brown <span class="animal"> fox</span> jumped <span
class="none">ov er</span> the lazy dog

should become

The quick brown <span class="animal"> fox</span> jumped over the lazy dog

I'm guessing i need to use reg expressions, but I can't quite grasp how to
do this.

Thoguhts? Questions? Comments? Jokes? Humourous musings?

<?php
$str='The quick brown <span class="animal"> fox</span> jumped <span
class="none">ov er</span> the lazy dog';
echo htmlentities($s tr),'<br>';
echo
htmlentities(pr eg_replace('`<s pan[^>]*class=(\'|")?n one\1[^>]*>(.*)</span>`isU',"$2" ,$str));
?>

RegExp won't work in situations where there are nested spans. Might be safer
to just take out the 'class="none"'.

An HTML parser is needed to do it properly.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
