regular expression help

[eluser]megabyte[/eluser]
Looking fro help to get link description that is between a font tag. There are many links per page so I am doing this. It obviously doesn't work. Can someone please help? All I am getting is the very last instance found and not all of them.

Code:

//html to search for:
//<font color="#000000" face="Verdana" size="2"> link descriptions go here</font>
&lt;?php
preg_match_all ("|size=\"2\">(.*?)</font>|",
                    $var, &$matches);


$matches = $matches[0];
    $list = array();

    foreach($matches as $var)
    {    
        print($var."<br>");
    }
?&gt;

there are other font tags in the pages so I need to search for just this specific one.

I'm having so many issues wrapping my head around this stuff.
