You must use this regular expression to catch

tag and all of its content:

'/]*>(.*?)<\/p>/i'

Working example to catch and remove

tag and all of its content:

$title = "
Text to keep
Text to remove
";
$result = preg_replace('/]*>(.*?)<\/p>/i', '', $title);
echo $result;

If you want to use regular expressions to parse HTML - then you will not be able to do this.
