Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions.  Due to the volume
of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not
a bug.  The support channels will be able to provide an explanation
for you.

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

trim() works on the character level. You told it to rtrim the characters
  < > , / a n p s
so it did.

If you want a portion of the string, like everything up to that <span></span>, then use substr().
