Regex matches a line between%

Question

I am trying to combine substrings enclosed in%, but preg_match_allit seems to include several at the same time on the same line.

The code is as follows:

preg_match_all("/%.*%/", "%hey%_thereyou're_a%rockstar%\nyo%there%", $matches);
print_r($matches);

Which produces the following conclusion.

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [0] => %hey%_thereyou're_a%rockstar%
            [1] => %there%
        )

)

However, I would like it to create the following array:

[0] => %hey%
[1] => %rockstar%
[2] => %there%

What am I missing?
