In Perl I used "/\S/" to check for blank lines read from a file.
Now I'm learning PHP.  How do I know what is a 'standard'
regexp that ereg() can handle and how do I know what is
Perl-specific syntax so that I must use preg_grep() instead?

For example, can I use ereg("\S",$buffer) to check for a blank
or must I use preg_grep()or that. What specific things require
preg_grep() to be used instead of ereg()?

Thanks.
