Why does my regular expression match when I use [0-9]+ and not match when I use \d+ when \d should mean exactly the same as [0-9] ??? Also: Why do I get a "Warning: REG_BADRPT" when I try to use [0-9]*? to do minimal matching? According to all the documentation I've found on PHP and regular expressions, is that it should support \d type specifiers and *? quantyfiers. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ereg.php
