The 's' in preg_* means something different:
"If this modifier is set, a dot metacharacter in the pattern matches all
characters, including newlines. Without it, newlines are excluded. This
modifier is equivalent to Perl's /s modifier. A negative class such as
[^a] always matches a newline character, independent of the setting of
this modifier."
