When trying to do a search in a mbstring, I sometimes(!) get the following error:
"
Warning: mb_ereg_search()[function.mb-ereg-search]:mbregex compile err: premature end
of regular expression in c:\myfile.php on line 12.
"
It's only the case for some strings. Why is this? I assume it must something related
to the word itself interacting with the mbfunctions
I'm using PHP 4.3.0.
Thanks a lot!!!!!

echo $examplesnt." is the example sentence<br>";
echo $word." is the word we're looking for in the sentence<br>";// i know the word is
not in it, but that doesn't matter
find_word($word,$examplesnt);
