Regex - I hate it :P

Hello,

I'm trying to do the following

I have a list (BIG) of things like

<option value="434">Intel Pentium EE 965 Presler, 3733/266, I975X, DDR2-667</option>

I want to take this list and remove the
value="434" part.. So it is just like

<option>Intel Pentium EE 965 Presler, 3733/266, I975X, DDR2-667</option>

I want to do this using preg_match or another regex php function.. It will always be 3 digits (NNN) and nothing else.

PS. Numbers are not all 434.. They are a variety of numbers.

PHP Code:

  echo preg_replace('#<option(.*?)>#', '<option>', $list);
