Trying to work my way through the expression, to see where it fails.
If I use this:

$blockpattern='/<p*[^>]*>.*?/';

It returns 116 matches, but if I take out that extra *, as you suggested Dan...

$blockpattern='/<p*[^>]>.*?/';

...I get 33 matches, which is correct.

However, when I add the rest of the expression, like this...

$blockpattern='/<p*[^>]>.*?<\/p>/';

I still get 0 results from preg_match_all.
