Hi there,

I'm sad to tell you, that I think to have found an error in your documentation or in PHP (that's up to you guys :)

When I was trying to find a pattern in a string with ereg, I did not get any result in $regs[1] as you wrote. I found it in $regs[0] where the copy of the whole string supposed to be. So I think that's a mistake, isn't it??

But anyway, good work folks,

c ya...

Tom

Try looking at a script like this:

<?
ereg("(.*)\.(.*)","25.67",$regs);
for ($i=0;$i<count($regs);$i++){
echo "$i -- $regs[$i]<br>";
}
?>


regs[0] will have "25.67"
regs[1] will have "25"
regs[2] will have "67"

The documentation is correct.
