    Your Regex expression is all wrong try this.

    
preg_match_all('/<div\sid=\'news\-id\-3526\'>(.*?)<\/div>/",$buffer, $download);
    PHP:
    Also if your div content is on more then 1 line you may have to do the following to your content before doing your preg match.

    $content = str_replace("\r", "", $content); // Strip Returns
    $content = str_replace("\n", "", $content); // Strip New Lines
