It's being greedy. You are telling it to match anything and everything,
and then end with a >.
Try something like this, instead.
eregi_replace("<body([^<]*)>"
That'll match anything after body and between the closing > tag, but
won't match the < of the next tag. Don't know if I explained that very
well, but have a go at it. :)
