How can PHP be used to extract data between specific HTML tags, such as <td> and </td>?

To extract data between specific HTML tags like <td> and </td> in PHP, you can use the DOMDocument class to parse the HTML content and then use XPath to query for the specific tags. By loading the HTML content into a DOMDocument object, you can easily navigate the DOM tree and extract the desired data between the specified tags. 

$html = &#039;&lt;table&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Data 1&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Data 2&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&#039;;

$dom = new DOMDocument();
$dom-&gt;loadHTML($html);

$xpath = new DOMXPath($dom);
$tdNodes = $xpath-&gt;query(&#039;//td&#039;);

foreach ($tdNodes as $td) {
    echo $td-&gt;nodeValue . &quot;\n&quot;;
}
