Also sprach artev:

This is one way to do it. Note, that, if the link contains other HTML
elements (like a <span>, for example), those will be returned as part of the
text. Also, the above code only returns the text from the first link it
finds. If you have several links and need the text from all of them, have a
look at preg_match_all().

It is a regular expression that I made up to show you a way to a possible
solution. Depending on your exact requirements, you might need to do some
modifications on that code.
