Answer 1

Your looking for the str_replace function.

mixed str_replace ( mixed $search , mixed $replace , mixed $subject [, int &$count ] )

<?php

    $str = '<p>This is the first line<br /> This is the second line with image <img src="1.jpg" /></p>'
    echo str_replace(array('<p>', '</p>'), NULL, $str);

?>
