Hi!

I'm trying to know if a substring or another string, using ereg.

ereg ($substring, $string)

My problem is that $substring contains characters like '[' and ']',
which are use for identifying classes in regular expressions, so I
obtain an error message every time I use it as in this example.

How can I solve it? Is there any option to make ereg not evaluate '['
and ']'. Or is there any other function that allows to compare two
substrings, saying if one is substring o another?

Regards!
