String &lt;p&gt;sample text&lt;/p&gt; includes some encoded html entities (&lt; for < and &gt; for >).

If you want to replace this encoded entitites with real symbols - use html_entity_decode. After it, your string becomes <p>sample text</p>. So if you echo it, <p> and </p> will be considered html-tags and will not be shown.

If you still need to remove these tags - use strip_tags function.

In the end:

<?php echo strip_tags(html_entity_decode($row[0]->content)); ?>

And yes, strip_tags removes all tags from a string unless you use it's second parameter.
