OK, guys, I'll be the first to admit my regex knowledge is more than 
limited.   And I've never used ereg().

So, I need to convert the following ereg() call in some code I'm 
modifying to a preg() call.  Can someone please tell me what the ereg() 
does and the equivalent preg()?

if (ereg("(error</b>:)(.+)(<br)", $buffer, $regs))

TIA.
