Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system
is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions. 

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

^ means beginning of sentence
$ means end of sentence

you were only matching the exact string "tes" here.

These lines of code seem to be invalid:

$text = "tes test tester";

$text = ereg_replace("^tes$","",$text);

echo $text;
// ouptu is | tes test tester |

I've test this with every possible combination of acceptable ereg
associations and nothing... I've stopped using ereg and only now use
preg functions.

Can anyone explain why this does work?
