PHP - How to remove/trim HTML from Array?

Question

Im using get_file_contents to create a Array. Below you can see a var_dump of my Array.

How I get this Array?

function remap_alternating(array $values) {
    $remapped = array();
    for($i = 0; $i < count($values) - 1; $i += 2) {
        $remapped[trim($values[$i], ": ")] = trim($values[$i + 1], " ");
    }
    return $remapped;
}

$mapped = remap_alternating($matches[0]);

foreach($mapped as $key => $val) {
}

Result of: var_dump($mapped);

array(32) {
  ["<td valign="top" class="maintext"><strong>Age:</strong></td>"]=>
  string(137) "<td class="graytext">21 Years. </td>"

  ["<td valign="top"><strong>Ethnicity:</strong></td>"]=>
  string(122) "<td class="graytext">Black</td>"

  ["<td valign="top" class="maintext"><strong>Location:</strong></td>"]=>
  string(152) "<td class="graytext">Dubai, United Arab Emirates</td>"

My question is how can I remove HTML code from this Array?

Easiest way is with strip_tags

$clean = array();
foreach($array as $key => $val) {
    $clean[strip_tags($key)] = strip_tags($val);
}

EDIT

In your function, change your line to this

$remapped[strip_tags(trim($values[$i], ": "))] = strip_tags(trim($values[$i + 1], " "));

You don't even need my snippet then
