Your second regex is a nice experiment, however, my guess is that it is horribly inefficient because of the combination of (lazy) quantifiers.

Note that there is nothing wrong at all with using the s modifier.

In Friedl's book you'll read about a more efficient way. I believe it also takes into account situations like /* echo '*/'; */.
