Is my ereg() wrong?
My understanding is ereg("^Q4_.[0-9]$", $key) should look for a $key
starting with 'Q4_' followed by a single number and place those values
into an array named $Q4scores.

Yes, your understanding of "^Q4_.[0-9]$" is wrong. This says that you are looking for a string with the following properties:


1.  Anchored at the beginning
2.  Begins with "Q4_"
3.  Followed by any single character (except newline)
4.  Followed by any single digit
5.  Anchored at the end

If you remove the "." in the middle of your pattern, you should get what you are looking for.

Hope this helps.
