The ereg function doesn't have the capability to test the age of the
person viewing your page. You have to depend on them to input their
age in some way.
Your answer depends on how your age is submitted. Assuming it is
submited as $_POST['age'], you could perhaps use ereg("0*[7-9]$",
$_POST['age']
Numbers are pretty easy. You could just do:
$age = (int)$_POST['age'];
if($age > 9) do_something();
else do_something_else();
Using ereg doesn't make much sense in this case.
