Strip HTML tags from $thread[preview]

[ThePimp]

Is there a way to strip HTML tags from the $thread[preview] variable?

Example:
<center>Debbie Does Dallas</center> <center>from the Arrow collection</center> <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" id="table13"...

Should only say:
Debbie Does Dallas from the Arrow collection...

Anyone know how to do this?

$thread['preview'] = strip_tags($thread['preview']);

Didn't have luck with that one but the edit from this link works ok in 3.6.

Only unwanted characters were the occasional / backslash
