| array('Kung Fu' =>1000, 'jack'=>150, 'jim'=>10, 'jonny'=>0);
|

| preg_match_all('/d+)s(.+)s:s(.+)/', $content, $tokens);

| Warning: preg_match_all() [function.preg-match-all]: Compilation
| failed: unmatched parentheses at offset 2

'\(\s*?([^:]*?)\s*?:\s*?(\d+)'

something like that should get it...you didn't escape the first parenth, nor
did you escape *any* of the space characters (\s)...nor would your
expression have returned anything close to what your description of results
shows.
