Assuming you know all the permissible div tag classes you want to capture the
contents of....
I'd make an array list of them and the use a foreach() loop and capture the
contents you want and not try to capture the contents between the channel divs.
Assemble the output array inside the loop. You can also easily keep track of
which channel ID the contents came from.
What you are attempting directly with preg_match_all() is possible; but, the
required pattern is very messy and will be hard to test to make certain it's
perfect.

grab everything in between the
Pattern of the preg_match_all.
If I preg_match_all('/<div class="channel" [^<>]*>/i',$document,$elements);
it works perfection
But only arrays the single div statement not everything from div to div. I
think somewhere the syntax of the preg_match_all or the implode that is not
allow this function to work.
Html document
<div class="channel" id="one">
<div class="title">

</div>
</div>
<div class="channel" id="two">

function pullchannel($document)
{
preg_match_all('/<div class="channel" [^<>]*>(.*)<div class="channel"
[^<>]*>/i',$document,$elements);
$match = implode("\r\n",$elements[0]);
$match = str_replace('"',"","$match");
return $match;
}

Give us and example of the input data. And tell us from that example,
what it is you are expecting to extract from it.
