<br>
$data = [<br>
'<p>First data entry</p>',<br>
'<div>Second data entry</div>',<br>
'<span>Third data entry</span>'<br>
];</p>
<p>$cleanData = preg_filter('/<[^>]+>/', '', $data);<br>
print_r($cleanData);<br>

echo "

The output will be as follows:

<br>
Array<br>
(<br>
[0] => First data entry<br>
[1] => Second data entry<br>
[2] => Third data entry<br>
