How do I search a string for "^"?

ereg(“^“,$firstTerm,$regs)

That doesn’t work. I think it’s because ^ is a regular expressions of some kind.

Any quick fix?

Thanks

One thing I would recommend though - use [url=http://us3.php.net/manual/en/ref.pcre.php]PCRE[/url] instead of [url=http://us3.php.net/manual/en/ref.regex.php]POSIX[/url] regex. Perl compatible regex are much more powerful than POSIX extended.

Success!
