I'm trying to parse a text with php regex. I wrote a pattern match with everything in line. I do not want it. It must match the target separately on the same line.
the pattern:
/\((?P<type>\w+)((,)*(?P<params>[\d\w\:]+))((,)*(?P<comment>.*))\)/u
target data string:
lorem ipsum dolor (photo,61) test (photo,62,some text) (video,63) sit amet etc
results preg_match_all with PREG_SET_ORDER flag:
array (size=1)
0 =>
array (size=11)
0 => string '(photo,61) test (photo,62,some text) (video,63)' (length=47)
'type' => string 'photo' (length=5)
1 => string 'photo' (length=5)
2 => string ',61' (length=3)
3 => string ',' (length=1)
'params' => string '61' (length=2)
4 => string '61' (length=2)
5 => string ') test (photo,62,some text) (video,63' (length=37)
6 => string '' (length=0)
'comment' => string ') test (photo,62,some text) (video,63' (length=37)
7 => string ') test (photo,62,some text) (video,63' (length=37)
If the target data is placed in separate lines and same regex pattern execution results; (I want these results but without new lines)
lorem ipsum dolor
(photo,61) test
(photo,62,some text)
(video,63) sit amet etc
array (size=3)
0 =>
array (size=11)
0 => string '(photo,61)' (length=10)
'type' => string 'photo' (length=5)
1 => string 'photo' (length=5)
2 => string ',61' (length=3)
3 => string ',' (length=1)
'params' => string '61' (length=2)
4 => string '61' (length=2)
5 => string '' (length=0)
6 => string '' (length=0)
'comment' => string '' (length=0)
7 => string '' (length=0)
1 =>
array (size=11)
0 => string '(photo,62,some text)' (length=20)
'type' => string 'photo' (length=5)
1 => string 'photo' (length=5)
2 => string ',62' (length=3)
3 => string ',' (length=1)
'params' => string '62' (length=2)
4 => string '62' (length=2)
5 => string ',some text' (length=10)
6 => string ',' (length=1)
'comment' => string 'some text' (length=9)
7 => string 'some text' (length=9)
2 =>
array (size=11)
0 => string '(video,63)' (length=10)
'type' => string 'video' (length=5)
1 => string 'video' (length=5)
2 => string ',63' (length=3)
3 => string ',' (length=1)
'params' => string '63' (length=2)
4 => string '63' (length=2)
5 => string '' (length=0)
6 => string '' (length=0)
'comment' => string '' (length=0)
7 => string '' (length=0)
Thanks for your help.

i found a solution not affected newlines (radical solution is to enclose with "~...~" not using "/.../")
~\((\w+),([\d|:]+),*(.*?)\)~u
named version;
~\((?P<type>\w+),(?P<params>[\d|:]+),*(?P<comment>.*?)\)~u
Thanks for @Uchiha pre-solution and Thanks for the hint given.
'~\(.*?\)~'
