get rid of the HTML tags

["Bruno Braga" <bbraga@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all.

 

I have this string:

 

$my_string = "<b>hello world</b><a href='teste.php'>this is a test for a
link with a image <img src='test.jpg'></a>

 

Is there any function that retrieves only the string without the html tags?!
--> Hello world this is a test link with a image

 

 

Thx for ya help
