Removing inline styles using php

I quickly put this together, but for 'inline styles' (!) you will need something like

$text = preg_replace('#(<[a-z ]*)(style=("|\')(.*?)("|\'))([a-z ]*>)#', '\\1\\6', $text);

Here is a preg_replace solution I derived from Crozin's answer. This one allows for attributes before and after the style attribute fixing the issue with anchor tags.

$value = preg_replace('/(<[^>]*) style=("[^"]+"|\'[^\']+\')([^>]*>)/i', '$1$3', $value);
