You can do as Jim says here or go back and read the manual section again
for eregi and ereg. What you're trying to do should be written more like
this:
<?php
$str = '<body bgcolor="#ffffff">';
$numMatches = eregi('(<body)(.*)(>)',$str,$results);
print("numMatches: $numMatches <br>\n");
print("body contents: $results[2] <br>\n");
print("all results: ");
print_r($results);
?>
