preg_match_all issue, need some help

[dysfunct]

I'm running a script that at one point will collect <imgtags from
some html. I've been using the following:

preg_match_all( "/<img .*?>/",$html,$images );

and I thought it was working well. However, I've notice that some
things i throw at it don't work properly. It seems to be that and
image tag closing itself with "/>" doesn't work, ie <img src="..... " /

>. I'm guessing the "/" character is delimiting the regex somehow.

Admittedly I know very little about regular expressions. Anyone know
whats going on and the best way to get all the image tags? I ideally
would like the whole thing, from the <img to the final closing bracket

preg_match_all( "/<img[^>]*>/",$html,$images );

However, proper use of DOM & getElementsByTa gName() could be more easily
maintained.
