Warning

This function is EXPERIMENTAL. The behaviour of this function, the name of this function, and anything else documented about this function may change without notice in a future release of PHP. Use this function at your own risk.

mb_ereg_search() returns TRUE if the multibyte string matches with the regular expression, FALSE for otherwise. The string for matching is set by mb_ereg_search_init(). If pattern is not specified, the previous one is used.

The internal encoding or the character encoding specified in mb_regex_encoding() will be used as character encoding.

Note: This function is supported in PHP 4.2.0 or higher.
