'/(?:<\?|<\?php)(?:.*|\t*|\r*|\n*|\r\n*|\a*|\e*|\f*|\v*)*\?>/'

This is a regex that will catch anything between <? and ?> or <?php and ?>

$pattern = '/(?:<\?|<\?php)(?:.*|\t*|\r*|\n*|\r\n*|\a*|\e*|\f*|\v*)*\?>/';
$text = preg_replace($pattern, '', $sourceText);

Assumming $sourceText = the text file read in.

This is remove any an all PHP from the file and will store it in the $text variable.

strip php tags ?? you mean you have php tags in your HTML page, displayed to the user?

I assumed that he was removing the php from something submitted by a user.
