very much NOT.

you're using eregi_* first of all! see if this helps:
<?
$test = 'THIS STRING IS EMPLOYED TO FLAG REQUIRED LIST OF UNLAWFUL SINGLE
TERMS!';
$test = preg_replace('/\b(employed|law|required|single)\b/i', '$1**',
$test);
echo '<pre>' . print_r($test, true) . '</pre>';
?>
notice 'unlawful' is skipped...as would 'singleton'. the whole word is
considered here.
