regex to find number between a number and a bracket

I have something like 

Page 1 of 7 (1-49 of 325)

I need to find the last page by using regex.

Here is what i have as regex expression 

<?php

$page = 'Page 1 of 7 (1-49 of 325)';

$matches = array();
$t = preg_match('/of(.*?)\(/s', $page, $matches);
print_r($matches[1]);


?>

It works fine, it outputs 7.

My problem is when ever i use 

<?php

$page = file_get_contents('http://www.exaample.com');

$matches = array();
$t = preg_match('/of(.*?)\(/s', $page, $matches);
print_r($matches[1]);


?>

i get a lot of text, but i dont get the output '7'.

<?php
$str = 'Page 1 of 7 (1-49 of 325)';
preg_match('/\([0-9]+\-([0-9]+) of [0-9]+\)/', $str, $matches);
var_dump($matches);

Not tested.

This works:

$t = preg_match('/Page [0-9]+ of ([0-9]+)/i', $page, $matches);
