Did you know,that while preg_match is faster than ereg,mb_ereg is even faster? Well,it is.

It’s all about libraries,actually.

“ereg”uses good-ol’posix library,which is good,butâ€¦ wellâ€¦ “old”.
“preg_match”uses PCRE
“mb_ereg”uses ultra-fast Oniguruma library

mb_ereg doesn’t limit you to use utf-8. just remember to specify encoding with mb_internal_encoding(‘Windows-1251′);
