You could use regular expressions:
$text = preg_relace('#<(.+?)style=(:?"|\')?[^"\']+(:?"|\')?(.*?)>#si', '<a\\1 \\2>', $text);

I've forgotten to add escape chars before `'` ;)

Hi Crozin, not sure where I should add an escape character? Do you mean a \ ?

@Alon, see the second answer on that page: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1732348/regex-match-open-tags-except-xhtml-self-contained-tags/1733489#1733489 . He has some known HTML which is being reliably generated, so a regex is not a bad solution here.

Couldn't you just use strip_tags and leave in the tags you want eg <p>, <strong> etc?

No, because I want to keep the <p> tags, but I don't want any with inline styles, eg <p style="color:#fff;"> It's the inline style I want to remove without removing the <p>

I quickly put this together, but for 'inline styles' (!) you will need something like
$text = preg_replace('#(<[a-z ]*)(style=("|\')(.*?)("|\'))([a-z ]*>)#', '\\1\\6', $text);

Why don't you just overwrite the tags. So you will have clean tags without inline styling.

I found this class very useful for doing strip attributes (especially where there's crazy MS Word formatting all through the text):
