preg_replace question

I have a string containing something like this:

heading1
information
...
...
heading2
information2
...
...

etc - i'm wanting to split this into an array each containing one section.
Here's what i'm trying: preg_split('/^\S+/m', $string) - this isn't
working. any suggestions?

Thanks,

This splits the string as you intended, I'm assuming you want the
headings kept with their respective information sections? I don't think
you can do that directly with preg_split, but if you do:

$Results = preg_split('/^\S+/m', $string, -1, PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE);

$Results will look something like:

$Results[0] = "heading1"
$Results[1] = "information1..."
$Results[2] = "heading2"
$Results[3] = "information2..."
etc.

Now all you need to do is concantenate $Results[0] with $Results[1],
$Results[2] with $Results[3], and so on.

Hope this helps,
Oli

Sorry, that should be:

$Results = preg_split('/(^\S+)/m', $string, -1, PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE);
