I am having a problem verifying characters in a variable, I am trying 
to create a conditional statement based on whether or not the first two 
characters of a variable contain "E9". The variable will always be 
either a 6 or a 7 digit, alpha-numeric string begining with "E". I have 
tried the following ereg() statement and it picks up everything because 
it begins with "E". I cannot seem to find any examples for matching 
characters in a specific location within a string except for the 
begining or the end. I am sure there is a simple solution. Any ideas?? 
 
(ereg("^[E9]", $enumber))
