Is (1) TRUE or eregi("admin.php", $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'])) ???
Don't use ereg and eregi. Deprecated in 5, will be removed in 6. If you
need regex, use the preg_match() family.
What's in $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']?
Personally I wouldn't use regex functions when regular string functions
can do the job. Much faster.
@ (2): entirely different test, unrelated to (1).
Which one's the better option depends entirely on what your program looks
like.
