note 34622 added to function.ereg

I'm using postnuke .726 on a few sites. Recently, I came across an oddity involving eregi.... Apparently, given the line: eregi("<[^>]*meta*\"?[^>]*>", $secvalue) this returns true with $secvalue="<a href="met">test</a>" I don't see how this is correct. Any ideas? ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ereg.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+34622 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+34622&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+34622&report=yes
