You need to use the multiline modifier.
Try this:
preg_match_all("/^(\#.*)/im", $my_string, $matches);
print_r($matches);
The result:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[0] => # {{uncountable}} The dried leaves or buds of the [[tea
plant]],
[1] => #: ''Go to the supermarket and buy some '''tea'''.''
[2] => # {{uncountable}} The drink made by [[infuse|infusing]]
these dried
)
[1] => Array
(
[0] => # {{uncountable}} The dried leaves or buds of the [[tea
plant]],
[1] => #: ''Go to the supermarket and buy some '''tea'''.''
[2] => # {{uncountable}} The drink made by [[infuse|infusing]]
these dried
)
)
