Browser is putting in a p tag and ignoring my span

This is my code in the php file. excontent is an array, $rebuild is a string.

<div class="about-hero">
<h2><span class="accel"><?php echo $excontent[0] . " "; ?></span><?php echo $rebuild; ?> </h2>
</div>

This is what I get when I inspect the element:

    <div class="about-hero">
      <h2>
         <span class="accel">
            <p>
               "Accelerate is a marketing agency located in NYC.&nbsp;A great blah blah blah."
            </p>
         </span>
     </h2>  
   </div>

Any ideas why its putting in a p tag??? Its something with the PHP and I'm new to PHP. I tried it with just strings and it works fine. I'm changing the color of the first word in a sentence (following the design) the rebuild is the rest of the sentence. They both echo fine on their own and show the correct content.

Your Browser will not "put" something into your HTML without any reason.

The first result of the Array is the place you should look at. You didn't provided your PHP Code, but im sure that result is where you find the <p> Tag ...

Just try this in JavaScript:

alert(<?PHP echo $excontent[0]; ?>);

I'm assuming the <p> tag is on the $excontent[0] variable. In this case, you could try removing all HTML tags from it:

<div class="about-hero">
<h2><span class="accel"><?php echo strip_tags($excontent[0]) . " "; ?></span><?php echo $rebuild; ?> </h2>
</div>

Or removing just the trailing and leading <p> and </p>:

<div class="about-hero">
<h2><span class="accel"><?php echo substr(trim(substr(trim($excontent[0]), 3, strlen($excontent[0]))), 0, -4) . " "; ?></span><?php echo $rebuild; ?> </h2>
</div>
