The PCRE regular expressions require delimiters that separate the pattern from optional modifiers (in this case i to reflect a case insensitive match):

preg_replace('/<[^>]*>/i', '', $stringToDisplay)

But since there are not letters that need to be interpreted without case, you can omit the i modifier.

And if you happen to try parsing HTML or a similar markup language with regular expressions, consider using a proper parser.

Try

preg_replace('/\<[^>]*\>/i', '', $stringToDisplay)
