Thanks for the tip. In this case, it's not an RSS feed, and I have

This problem is much better suited for an XML parser, and it makes your code
more readable as well. Code snippet:
$dom = new DOMDocument();
$dom->loadHTML($txt);
$items = $dom->getElementsByTagName('p');
foreach ($items as $paragraph) {
echo $paragraph->nodeValue;

Trying to work my way through the expression, to see where it fails.
If I use this:

pull all of the paragraphs out of an article, so that I can create
