This is how strip_tags() works, get used to it.

But it's still valid html code, isn't it?
HTML 4 specification (http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40) allow to use "<"
and ">" within attribute values...

Actually your HTML code is what is broken here, you should use this:
<a href="&gt;">123</a>

Description:
------------
strip_tags don't accept quotes and double quotes inside html tags.



Reproduce code:
---------------
echo strip_tags('<a href=">">123</a>');

Expected result:
----------------
123

Actual result:
--------------
">123
