Php – How do I extract a piece of a multi-line string with regex?

I have a multi-line string that I’m trying to extract, but it is not returning any pieces.

$input = '<script>
buffy = 1;
vampire = {
response: [{"sleep":"night"}]
};
</script>';

preg_match( '~response:(.*?)};~', $input, $output );

print_r( $output );

I am trying to extract [{"sleep":"night"}]

    check this out :

    $input = '<script>
buffy = 1;
vampire = {
response: [{"sleep":"night"}]
};
</script>';

preg_match('/response:s*([^;]+);/', $input, $output);

print_r($output[1]);

    '~response: ([{[^}]+}])~'

response    interpret as text
:           interpret as text
            interpret as text (one space)
(           start of capturing group
[          interpret as text
{          interpret as text
[^}]        anything up to the next }
+           ... and do this one or more times
}           interpret as text
]           interpret as text
)           end of capturing group
