 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...
