Find HTML tags and replace

[meral]

I have one string also having html tags...

 

<p>hello</p><b>bold</b><br /><p style="text-align:right">right align</p>

 

i want find all html tags and add space before and after that tag...

 

#<p>#hello#</p>##<b>#bold#</b>##<br />##<p style="text-align:right">#right align#</p>#

 

Consider # as white space

 

I think it can be achive through Regular Expression and preg_match but how i dont know...

Example:
