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

2002-10-31 Thread 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?

I don't think that eregi or ereg consider \s as whitespace-
Instead, use   or \040-
