To remove HTML tags from a string in PHP, you can use the `strip_tags()` function. Here's an example:
```php
$html = '<div><h1>Hello World!</h1></div>';
$text = strip_tags($html);
echo $text; // Output: Hello World!
```
Note that this will remove all HTML tags, including self-closing tags like `<br />`. If you want to keep certain tags or strip only specific tags, you can use a regular expression to filter out the unwanted tags. Here's an example of stripping only `<script>` and `<style>` tags:
```php
function clean_html($str) {
$clean = preg_replace('/<script[^>]*?>.*?</script>/is', '', $str);
$clean = preg_replace('/<style[^>]*?>.*?</style>/is', '', $clean);
$clean = strip_tags($clean);
return $clean;
}
```
