    Your code should look like this :

    <i class="fas fa-user mr-2"> Example text </i>

    Here is the parse coding:

    <?php
  $doc = new DOMDocument();
  $doc->loadHTML("<html><body><h1>Parsing Html in PHP</h1></body></html>");
  echo $doc->saveHTML();
?>

    You can parse it via DOM or use XPath.

    Here is an example of each.
    Demo: https://3v4l.org/nvcYP

    $html = <<<'_HTML'
<nav class="navbar navbar-expand-xl" id="menu">
    <div>
        <a><i class="fas fa-user mr-2"></i>Example text</a>
    </div>
</nav>
_HTML;

libxml_use_internal_errors(true);
$doc = new DOMDocument();
$doc->loadHTML($html);

// parsing the elements
$nav = $doc->getElementById('menu');
$text = $nav->getElementsByTagName('a')->item(0)->nodeValue;
echo $text;

// using xpath
$xpath = new DOMXPath($doc);
$text = $xpath->query('//nav[@id="menu"]/div/a')->item(0)->nodeValue;
echo $text;
