Pattern Matching Problem

[Anon]

I am searching a paragraph of text with the following:

if (ereg("[a-z][A-Z]", $description, $find)){
echo"Found A Match";
}

This doesn't appear to work. If anyone who has experience at pattern matching could help me I would greatly appreciate.

Here is the solution I found that works, for anyone who wants to know:

if (preg_match ("/$find/i", $description)) {
$found = 1;
}

This finds the word in the description without being case sensitive.
