[PHP] why does eregi match for whitespace when there is none?

[Peter J. Schoenster]

Here is the example:

<?php

$string = 'asfddsaz';

if (eregi('\s', $string)) {
    echo "Whitespace present";
}else {
    echo "NO Whitespace present";
}
?>

Why does the above return true? There is no whitespace in the string. 
What am I missing?

Peter
