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
*/
