Disclaimer: I am nothing close to an expert with regular expressions. Also
it has been a while since I've worked specifically with PHP's regex engine.
I think the regex you are looking for is closer to:
\'.*\'
At any rate your regex looks like it has unmatched brackets.

Good evening,
I'm looking to match text inside single quotes using PHP (technically this
text is in XML/HTML documents (and yes, I know regexes are bad for HTML, but
in this instance, it's what I need)), but am having a little trouble with
the formatting.
I *think* what I want is:
[\'][.]*]\']
Is that right, or am I way off? It seems to only match sometimes.
Thanks,
-Warren
