PHP replace HTML tags

Question

I have a text which can contain HTML tags. I want to be able to view it in plain text without html tags being parsed by browser exactly the way HTML code viewers do.

for example: replacing <div> with <div>.

the text may also contain utf-8 characters like Arabic or Farsi. and also all tags must be replaced.

for example:

there is no html tags in this line.

the following line is in farsi:
این یک متن نمونه است به زبان فارسی

<div>
    <label>
        This is a sample text.
    </label>
</div>

the last 4 tags must be replaced in the above code and also the farsi characters must be still readable.

<?php
$str = "A 'quote' is <b>bold</b>";

// Outputs: A 'quote' is &lt;b&gt;bold&lt;/b&gt;
echo htmlentities($str);

// Outputs: A &#039;quote&#039; is &lt;b&gt;bold&lt;/b&gt;
echo htmlentities($str, ENT_QUOTES);
?>
