Note Submitter: bardez at bardez dot net Reason: removed at authors request ---- A useful note on ereg (perhaps regexps in general instead?): I have noticed after multiple attempts to verify data (specifically e-mail addresses) with ereg() that if the semi-colon (;) is in $string (second parameter), then the start of string carat (^) will be valid after the semi-colon. In other words, a semi-colon in the $string parameter seems to reset the beginning of string marker in ereg() to follow the semi-colon, causing something to work that shouldn't. It's best to check for semi-colons before calling ereg()
