Description:
------------
The escaping the dash character (-) in a characters set of a regular expression is ignored. It works correctly in Perl.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<? // -*- C -*-

echo "<html><body>";

$email = "test-user.lastname\@my-domain.com";
$email = "test-user.lastname+reference\@my-domain.com";

if (eregi( '^[a-z0-9]+[a-z0-9\-\.\+_]*\@([a-z0-9\-\.]+\.[a-z][a-z]+)$', $email)) {
  echo "Valid";
} else {
  echo "Invalid";
}

echo "</body></html>
";

?>

Expected result:
----------------
This should print valid, but prints invalid. I know the work around is to put the -, without the escape, at the end of the regex.

Perl works correctly:

#! /usr/bin/perl

$_ = "test-user.lastname\@my-domain.com";
$_ = "test-user.lastname+reference\@my-domain.com";

if ( /^[a-z0-9]+[a-z0-9\-\.\+_]*\@([a-z0-9\-\.]+\.[a-z][a-z]+)$/) {
  print "Valid\n";
} else {
  print "Invalid\n";
}
