This is an excellent tool for trying out regular expressions and slowly building up your solution

You want to look at the preg_match_all method to find multiple matches in the same string

This will work for the example posted, by I encourage you to figure out how it works

preg_match_all('/^(\w+):\s(.*?)$/m', $input, $output, PREG_SET_ORDER);

You will need PREG_SET_ORDER to group the matches together by set
