I don't know what you need it for, if it is only to display page content without tags, strip_tags() could be what you need.

But anyway, if you want to stay with that regex, first and easy approach would probably to swap the < and the > in the middle part of your pattern?

I also don't see why you'd need the .? at the beginning and . at the end.
