How to number <span>

[miccomte]

Hello,

I have difficulties doing the below task with PHP, does anyone can help?

 

I have an HTML file containing some span tags encapsulating numbers: <span>1</span>...<span>10</span>...<span>5</span>...<span>7</span>

 

I would like to replace the numbers with serial number, incremented by 1 for each span: <span>1</span>...<span>2</span>...<span>3</span>...<span>4</span>

 

Any idea?

for ($i=1; $i<5; $i++)
{
  echo '<span>'.$i.'</span>;
}

Thanks, but it will just display <span>1</span><span>2</span><span>3</span><span>4</span>...

 

What I want is to REPLACE something like that:

<span>1</span>...<span>10</span>...<span>5</span>...<span>7</span>

 

with something like that:

<span>1</span>...<span>2</span>...<span>3</span>...<span>4</span>
