I see a number of issues with your regex, for example, one problem I see is that your patterns aren't accounting for newlines and whitespace between html tags.  But rather than try to make your regex work, you instead use a DOM parser for this.

thank you...ive found a easier way of getting most of the information i need now

protected function fetch_data()
	{
		$ip   = $this->get_ip();
		$url  = "http://www.geoplugin.net/json.gp?ip=" . $ip;
		$json = file_get_contents($url);
		$json = json_decode($json);
	
		$this->_ip                        = $ip;
		$this->_status                    = $json->{'geoplugin_status'};
		$this->_city                      = $json->{'geoplugin_city'};
		$this->_region                    = $json->{'geoplugin_region'};
		$this->_area_code                 = $json->{'geoplugin_areaCode'};
		$this->_dma                       = $json->{'geoplugin_dmaCode'};
		$this->_country_code              = $json->{'geoplugin_countryCode'};
		$this->_country_name              = $json->{'geoplugin_countryName'};
		$this->_continent_code            = $json->{'geoplugin_continentCode'};
		$this->_longitude                 = $json->{'geoplugin_longitude'};
		$this->_latitude                  = $json->{'geoplugin_latitude'};
		$this->_region_code               = $json->{'geoplugin_regionCode'};
		$this->_region_name               = $json->{'geoplugin_regionName'};
		$this->_currency['code']          = $json->{'geoplugin_currencyCode'};
		$this->_currency['symbol']        = $json->{'geoplugin_currencySymbol'};
		$this->_currency['symbol_UTF8']   = $json->{'geoplugin_currencySymbol_UTF8'};
		$this->_currency['exchange_rate'] = $json->{'geoplugin_currencyConverter'};
