Change this:
$pattern='<p\s+style="padding-left:\s+(\d+)px;">(.*?)</p>';
To this:
$pattern='/<p\s+style="padding-left:\s+(\d+)px;">(.*?)<\/p>/Uis';
This adds the delimiters (/) to the beginning and end of the
string, and escapes the slash in the </p> so it doesn't kick-out
early, leaving trailing characters. After the ending delimiter, it
tells preg_replace() to be "Ungreedy", "CASE-iNSENSITIVE", and to feel
free to cross over newline boundaries (with the 's' modifier).
From there, you can modify your regexp as needed.
One of the absolute best resources for regexp's on the 'Net today,
in my opinion, is here:
http://www.regular-expressions.info/
It's even good for those of us who forget things years later.... ;-P
