use a substr_count() function for find a mached substring from string: 

  <?PHP
    $text = 'This is a test';
    //Use substr_count for search matched string
    echo substr_count($text, 'is'); // 2

    ?>

You can make use of DOMDocument Class for that .

<?php
$html='<p>Hey hello</p><b>Hey this is bold tag</b><p>Another paragraph</p>';
$dom = new DOMDocument;
$dom->loadHTML($html);
echo $dom->getElementsByTagName('p')->length;// "prints" 2
