ereg parse error problem

Hi, friends, I'm receiving a parse error on the if (ereg... ) lines of this code. I looked at the online manual and modeled my two ereg's after it. When I kept getting parse errors, I decided to copy the original from the manual into my code, and it too received a parse error. Can someone please help me resolve this? Thank you, Lara --------- <?php $string = "&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.qksrv.net/click-297915-361662&quot; target=&quot;_top&quot; &gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.123posters.com/images/m-mase01.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Mase Necklace&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.qksrv.net/image-297915-361662&quot; height=&quot;1&quot; width=&quot;1&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt;" if (ereg ("([0-9]{4})-([0-9]{1,2})-([0-9]{1,2})", $string, $regs)) {

} else { echo "nope1"; } if (eregi("a href=&quot;(.*)&quot;", $string, $regs)) { echo $regs[1]; } else { echo "nope2"; } ?> --------------------- Lara J. Fabans Lodestone Software, Inc lara@lodestone-sw.com
