Php: remove all tags, but “a href” in a text

Is there any way to strip out html tags using regex from a string but only keep the tag and associated styling?

For example:

<div>
    <p>Blah blah blah <a href="xyz.com" style="blah blah">blah blah</a> blah blah</p>   </div>

will give you:

Blah blah blah <a href="xyz.com" style="blah blah">blah blah</a> blah blah

Thanks for your help

Your best bet is to use strip_tags function with the second parameter:

$new_string = strip_tags($input_string, "<a>");
