Consider preg_replace() with that same pattern.  Or, at the most
involved, preg_replace_callback().

Try something along this line:



Replace $text with the text through which you want to look, and
your results will be an array in $matches.  The \b switch in the
regexp will match any word/letter border, which includes whitespaces,
tabs, newlines, periods, et cetera.  Essentially, anything that you'll
want to match inside HTML tags, be they valid or otherwise.  The U
modifier makes the search "Ungreedy," while the i modifier makes it
case-iNsEnSiTiVe.
