RE: [PHP-WIN] something wrong w/ ereg() ?

I've had a lot of good luck using ereg* functions.... As a book learning kind of person, I read Mastering Regular Expressions by Jeffrey Friedl and have yet to have a major problem. Then again, I haven't had any experience with other implementations of regex so I may be missing something. --------------------- John Asendorf - jasendorf@lcounty.com Web Applications Developer http://www.lcounty.com - NEW FEATURES ADDED DAILY!
