How can PHP be utilized to remove specific text from an HTML file between two designated markers?

To remove specific text from an HTML file between two designated markers using PHP, you can read the HTML file, search for the text between the markers, and then remove it before writing the modified content back to the file.

<?php
$file = 'example.html';
$content = file_get_contents($file);

$start_marker = '<!-- START_MARKER -->';
$end_marker = '<!-- END_MARKER -->';

$start_pos = strpos($content, $start_marker);
$end_pos = strpos($content, $end_marker);

if ($start_pos !== false && $end_pos !== false) {
    $content = substr_replace($content, '', $start_pos, $end_pos + strlen($end_marker) - $start_pos);
    file_put_contents($file, $content);
    echo 'Text between markers removed successfully.';
} else {
    echo 'Markers not found in the HTML file.';
}
?>
