if(!ereg(^#(.)*$, $buffer[$i]))

what does this mean?

Boiled down, it is 'ok' if the string
doesn't start with '#'.
Um -- I'm no regex expert, but isn't ^ the start of string character? --
so this is looking for strings which *do* begin with a hash!
Well the ereg is looking for strings beginning with # but then the whole if
expression is negated (!), so the statement it is 'ok' if the string doesn't
start with '#' is correct.
