What am I doing wrong with this preg_match?

[DISLEX]

I'm working on a plugin and I'm trying to pull out quotes from a post message ($post[pagetext]). For some reason, it works if there's a quote->img->/img->/quote combination, but if there is any text inside the quote WITH an image, it won't pick it up.

here's my regex: $qc = preg_match_all("/(\[quote)(.*)(\[\/quote\])/i", $post[pagetext], $quotematches, PREG_SET_ORDER);

here are some examples of the regex results:

hey, how's it going?

In the above, it would detect the quoted message by "user"

oh cool I'm not color blind

in the above, it still detects the quote

HOWEVER, in the following:

it doesn't detect the quote. I've noticed that it doesn't catch a quote if there's text AND an image inside of the quote. How on earth is that not a match?
