you need pattern modifier s (PCRE_DOTALL)

this makes . match all chars including newline

m (PCRE_MULTILINE) just affexts where ^ and $ match

the following worked for me ...

<?
$content = '<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1">


text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text

text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text
text text
text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text
text text

text text text text text text text text text text text
text text text text text.

</font>';

preg_match_all("|<font face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\" size=\"1\">(.*)</font>|sU",$content, $body, PREG_PATTERN_ORDER);

foreach($body[1] as $key => $font){
print htmlspecialchars($font)." <br>\n";

?>
