Regular expression, replace between "<" and ">", php

I'm very weak in regular expressions.

I simply need to replace < and > (and anything between) with new content.

This is what I have: 

$key = preg_replace('/<.*>/', '', $key);

My little string <5> should simply be My little string.
My little string <96> should simply be My little string.

What did I do wrong?

$key needs to be equal to the string you are tring to replace in. There is nothing wrong with your regular expression.

The following works if you supply the string instead of $key:

preg_replace('/<.*>/', '', 'My little string <96>');

What is the value of $key?
