I agree with the first part, that it is in many cases better to use the
Perl Compatible Regular Expressions (PCRE, preg_*) than the POSIX
compatible ones (ereg[i]_*). However, I don't quite get what you mean by
"extension is useless" ? What extension...?? and why would it be
useless? (useless in what way?)

Hello Brad,
suggest to use preg_* instead of ereg_*

Hey all,
I have been having some trouble with the "eregi" function. I have the
following piece of code in my application:
function standard_input($input, $min=0, $max=50){
if (strlen($input) <= $max and strlen($input) >= $min ) {
$pattern = '^[a-z0-9\!\_ \.- ,/]*$';
if(!eregi($pattern, $input)){
return false;
}else{
return true;
}
}else{
return false;
}
}
And i am running PHP version 5.2.1
I receive the following error:
*Warning*: eregi() [function.eregi
<http://idontwanttouse.net/MeetMyMate/Bin/Debug/function.eregi>]:
REG_ERANGE in *[File Location]* on line *287
*Any ideas what might cause this? Googling REG_ERANGE only showed more
questions.
