Two things:
First, you can actually specify which tags you don't want strip_tags to
take out. Say for example you want <p> and <br /> tags to remain in the
string:
$string = strip_tags($string, '<p><br />');
Second, don't forget the tags you'll need in the preg_replace function:
$str = preg_replace('/\<a href="([^\"]*)"[^\>]*\>/', "\1", $str);
You can use other characters, such as ! if you want instead of /, but
you have to use the same at the beginning and the end.
