You should try
var_dump(ereg('C:\\\\W', 'C:\\WINNT\\TEMP\tst5B.tmp'));
The reason is that in simple quotes, antislashes don't have to be
escaped. Still, they need to be escaped in a regular epr ie in the first
argument of ereg() (the first and the secon argument are both string,
but in the reakity they are not really the same type)
