The pointing is often "off" by a few chars...

For starters, you're not correctly using \, imho.

\ is special in PHP strings.
\ is ALSO special in RegEx.

So your \s should be \\s, in case PHP makes \s special someday.

I think the ?> in there will also mess you up, maybe, as that ends PHP
parsing...  Though it SHOULD be kosher inside a string...
