ereg (pattern, string [, regs]) The .pdf manual states that regs[0] contains a copy of string. That is *not* true. regs[0] contains the substring found by pattern, while regs[1], regs[2] etc contain the substrings found by the subpatterns surrounded by parenthesis from pattern. An example: ereg("(S).*(L)", "MySQL", $regs); /* returns: $regs[0]="SQL" $regs[1]="S" // first parenthesis $regs[2]="L" // second parenthesis */ -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.regex.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+16688 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+16688 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+16688
