title: Remove <p> tag from HTML content
body: <p>I trying to get a clean paragraph to be displayed on the website but, because of the <code>&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</code> in the middle of the content I am not getting the expected output. I have tried the following but none of them worked and I am still getting <code>&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</code> around my content. </p>
  
  <pre><code>$story = "&lt;p&gt;Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.&lt;/p&gt;";
  
  
   1. $story = strip_tags($story, '&lt;p&gt;');
   2. $story=str_ireplace('&lt;p&gt;','',$story);
   3. $story=str_ireplace('&lt;/p&gt;','',$story);
   4. $story = preg_replace('/&lt;p\b[^&gt;]*&gt;(.*?)&lt;\/p&gt;/i', '', $story);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Have I missed anything in my code? My expected output would be </p>
