I am looking for a way to change all the text in an anchor tag that contains certain text in php

ie:

<a href="stackoverflow.com"><strong>This is text</strong></a>

I want to seach for 'This is text' and then replace the anchor tags that the text is in with with something else.

Is it easiest to do with regular expressions?
