Hello again; Regarding the error I was inquiring about: Warning: ereg() [function.ereg]: REG_ERANGE in <path info>_proc.php on line 81 I still would like to know what it means but I solved the script problem. I found that since $groups is a string that was exploded to form the $g_list array it may have been struggling to try and crawl back through the whole string in the middle of the for loop. But I don't know, because I don't know what REG_ERANGE means. I should have not been trying to run this regex at this stage of the script and, in fact (I have been doing a lot of complex programming on this project ) I had the same regex further down the list where is should have been and was already. Anyhow, I think this may be valuable for anyone who is trying to learn by watching and reading this list. thanks Jeff K was not the answer to your question already given to you in one of your previous posts about this problem?

If you didn't get it, here it is again. quote You used to have the - after the 9 at the end, and then you tacked on the \. and \/ after that, and now PCRE is trying to use the - as if it were a range-specifier, like, a-z or 0-9, only you've got, essentially, a-z0-9-. quote
