I just noticed you're also using unquoted text in the $values declarations.

Change $values[pic1] to $values['pic1'], etc. You should also put this line
at the beginning of your script:

error_reporting(E_ALL);

That will help you find any other mistakes. You don't need to worry about
greedy matches because \S will stop matching at the first space character.
