note 51740 added to function.ereg

just to note here, php4's ereg() doesn't support [:space:], so if you want to match arbitrary whitespace, use preg_match() $string = "hi \t bob"; if (ereg("hi[:space:]*bob", $string)) { print "you must be using php5!\n"; } // php4 version if (preg_match("/hi\s*bob/",$string)) { print "works in both php4 and php5!\n"; } php5's ereg() does support [:space:] ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ereg.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+51740 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51740&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51740&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51740&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51740&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51740&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+51740&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
