# mb_ereg_search

(PHP 4 >= 4.2.0)

mb_ereg_search -- Multibyte regular expression match for predefined multibyte string

## Description

bool mb_ereg_search ( [string pattern [, string option]])

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.
