(Note that since the parentheses are unbalanced, the above will thorw a
parse error.)
Since it's eregi, you don't need both [a-z] and [A-Z]. And by putting the
digits and letters in separate character classes, the pattern can only
match strings with one digit followed by two letters, a dot, another digit,
and more more letters. IOW:
1ab.2Cd
3zY.9MX
(etc.)
Since the goal is to match like this...

...try something more like this..
eregi("[0-9a-z]+\.[0-9a-z]+", $myArray[x])
...which would match as shown in the samples, where a single matched
character on either side of the decimal is repeating. (change the plus
signs to asterisks if "any" number of letters/digits can include no
letters/digits.)
