regexp changed in php4beta3?

Hi, I installed php4 Beta 3 and apache 1.3.11 this weekend. It's working well except with one php script which worked before with apache 1.3.9 and php 3.0.9 and stopped working now. It's a really simple task but I still didn't figure out what went wrong: ----------------------------------------------------------- $seite = $QUERY_STRING; $retval = ereg("([tgeia]+)([0-9]+)", $seite, $query_chunks); $typ=$query_chunks[1]; $lektion=$query_chunks[2]; ----------------------------------------------------------- should take an query string like 'script.php?i3' or '...php?g3_11' and set $typ to the letter e.g. 'i' and $lektion to the first number after the letter e.g. '3'. The letter is one of t,g,e,i or a. This worked with my old configuration. $query_chunks[1] was the letter and $query_chunks[2] the number. Now $query_chunks[0] is the letter and $query_chunks[1] and [2] are empty. According to the php3 documentation $query_chunks[0] should have the value of $seite. Am I missing something obvious?
