Regex - Extracting contents within two custom delimiters

Would like to check, I am very new to regular expression and I am attempting to extract contents of my custom log files within 2 custom delimiters. How should I do that? I tried preg_match('/-----BEGIN DEPLOYMENT-----(.*?)-----END DEPLOYMENT-----/s', $logFile, $extracted); but it do not seem to work properly. Below is a sample of the log file I made for my bitbucket autodeploy function.

-----BEGIN DEPLOYMENT-----

Your regex seems to work fine, but to actually capture all occurrences you need to use the preg_match_all method:

preg_match_all('/-----BEGIN DEPLOYMENT-----(.*?)-----END DEPLOYMENT-----/s', $logFile, $extracted);
print_r($extracted);
