Erregi_replace removing html

Hello, I was wondering if anyone knew off hand how to remove html from a posting using PHP. I tried

$content = eregi_replace("<(.*)>"," ",$content);

but that removes anything everything in the best if it for example started with a <b> and ended with a </b> any ideas how to remove only the tags?

Thanks
