If you want to match a period, escape it or put it in square braces: eregi("HTTP/1\.[01].302",$output) -or- eregi("HTTP/1[.][01].302",$output) You might also want to limit what's acceptable before the status code by changing ".302" to: " 302" //space -or- "[ ]302" //space, made more obvious -or- "[[:space:]]302" //any whitespace character -- CC
