I did some work where i get a string from Google API search result snippets. In this string there contain <b> and </b> this makes problem for further work so that I need to remove <b> and </b>
The main string code:
$content_all .="#$*@#" . $json->responseData->results[$x]->content;
After I tried this code to remove <b> and </b>:
$content_all=(string)$content_all;
str_replace("<b>", " ", $content_all);
str_replace("</b>", " ", $content_all);
but it don't remove <b> and </b>. I tried
str_replace("hello", " ", "Hello people");
It's worked. But why its not working for $content_all sting. I write the value of $content_all and it's looks like this

You have to do it this way:
$content_all=str_replace("<b>", " ", $content_all);
$content_all=str_replace("</b>", " ", $content_all);
echo $content_all;
Of course, the last line is just an echo, so you can see the result.
If you want to remove html tag from a string you could go for strip_tags()
eg:
<?php
echo strip_tags("Hello <b>world!</b>");//Hello world
?>
Be careful strip_tag will remove all the tags from a string.
refer http://www.w3schools.com/php/func_string_strip_tags.asp.
one more thing if you use str_replace("<b>", " ", $content_all); then it will give unwanted space
ie:str_replace("<b>", " ", "hi <br><br> vig");
result: hi vig
