    By default, the . (DOT) does not match line breaks. If you enable DOT-ALL with the s modifier, it does match those chars:

    /<form\b[^>]*>(.*?)<\/form>/is

    Realize that you won’t be able to match something like:

    <form>
   ...

   <!-- </form> -->

   ...
</form>

    to name just one of the possibilities.
