Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

your regex allow for 2 numbers tom be matched. So it matches 
20 and returns TRUE indicating success.

Sorry, had a hard work that day :)
That's what i need: ereg("[^0-9$]{2,6}", "2006-12-17")
