Hi
I am glad that you have solved it by your own. Nothing seems to be wrong with the following expression, seems it is correct.

preg_match("/<(\/\?[[:alpha:]]*)[[:space:]]*([^>]*)>/",$str,$reg)

sorry, even I am not so sure about this, because even i am not fully perfect in PHP regexpression. But you expression looks pretty perfect.
