$string = 'your html here';
$pattern = "/<(aŠimg)([^>]+)>/i";
$replacement = "<\\1 target=\"_blank\"\\2>";
$new_str = preg_replace($pattern,$replacement,str_replace('target="_blank"','',$string));

Try something like that :) Refer to pattern syntax [us.php.net] for more information. Also, make sure to replace the 'Š' with the solid pipe character as webmasterworld breaks these.
