Use an 's' modifier.
Quote: If this modifier is set, a dot metacharacter in the pattern
matches all characters, including newlines. Without it, newlines are
excluded. This modifier is equivalent to Perl's /s modifier. A negative
class such as [^a] always matches a newline character, independent of
the setting of this modifier.
Example: preg_match("!<tag>(.*)</tag>!s",$string,$matches);
