I tried the print_r on $res. The preg_match does the first set fine.
So I get:
Campus
Bob (Williams)
the second one starts
-----
Address||||||||123 Main St
-----
City||||||||Oxford
and so on

use print_r on the $res to check for the results (I'm not 100% sure if
they'll come out in $res[2], $res[3], $res[4], etc. or in $res[4][0],
$res[4][1], etc.
