Regexp trouble

Hi list I still fail to understand why regular expressions are causing me such a hard time. I used and tested my regexp in kregexpeditor (comes with Quanta [kdewebdev]) but when I put it in the php script it fails. ereg('^([\w]{3,3})[\s]([\d]{2,2})[\s]([\d]{2,2})[:]([\d]{2,2})[:]([\d]{2,2})' Does not match my query string. Which is Nov 22 06:51:36 Any ideas why? I mean Line start, followed by 3 word chars, followed by a space, followed by 2 digits, followed by a space, followed by two digits, folowed by a colon followed by 2 digits and followed by a colon, should match that date?
