[PHP] Checking for plus signs?

[Leif K-Brooks]

I'm trying if(eregi(+,$variable)){, but it gives me an error.  What do I
do?

The plus is a special character for regular expressions.  You need to 
escape it in order to search for a literal +

Try this:

eregi(\\+, $variable)

Actually, all you need is this:
if(eregi(\+,$variable))

You only need to escape the + sign once.

remember to escape the escape character so php passes it onto the reg.ex.
function correctly, so:
if(eregi(\\+,$variable))
