You can't use the character class \s within a range.  And you need to
escape a few special characters.  The working version should be:

$data = 'A Simple test.';
#if (ereg(^[a-zA-Z0-9\s.\-_']+$, $data))
if (ereg(^[a-zA-Z0-9[:space:]\.\-_']+$, $data))
{
echo Valid text\n;
}
else
{
echo Not valid text\n;
}

I'm running PHP 4.34 on a windows pc. This function is new to me, any help would be 
appreciated.

I'm very new to PHP, so I may be barking up the wrong tree, but what is
that s doing after the slash? I don't know if it's the cause of the
problem, but as far as I know it's superfluous.
