You can strip the tags with strip_tags() (note the $allowable_tags
parameter) and later escape the HTML special characters with
htmlspecialchars() (note the $encoding parameter, which may be necessary
to prevent UTF-7 injection attacks). Simplified:

>>> $str='alpha <b>beta < gamma</b> delta';
>>> htmlspecialchars(strip_tags($str));
'alpha beta < gamma delta'
