Simple regular expression to get text between <br/> and next <br/>

I have a string that contains this (and another things):

<b>SINOPSIS:</b><br/> 
Text text text and mooore text...<br/>

I need a reg-ex to get the text between those first two <br/> tags.

Thanks...

Note: There are more <br/> tags. I need the first occurrence only..

I will be using PHPs preg_match() function.

this will work, make sure to enable multiline

there are other fancier ways with more checks ect...

edit:

preg_match('!\<br\/\>.+?\<br\/\>!s', $string);

Example 2 (For whitespace before close br),

!\<br\s*/?>.+?\<br\s*/?>!s

Allow me to point you to this brilliant answer by bobince that I stumbled upon when I was tempted to ask a similar question: RegEx match open tags except XHTML self-contained tags
