A regular expression might help, something like

/CDATA\[([^\]]+)/

It should match on the last '[' and then capture all following chars
which are not ']'.

But since this looks like XML, using DOM or SimpleXML might be an option
as well. Usually it's easier and the cleaner way to work with XML using
the appropriate tools.
