URGENT

I have teh string "my car is broken"
how can I display the words having a "r"?
this script doesn't work :
<?php
$string="my car is broken";
if ( ereg( "r", $string, $regs ) ) {
echo "$regs[1]";
}
?>

I'm sure there's some beautiful reg statement that will handle this for you, but here's one solution:

$string="my car is broken";
$words_ar = explode(" ",$string);
do
{
if ( preg_match( "/[:alnum:]r[:alnum:]/", current($words_ar)))
{
echo current($words_ar) . "<BR>";
// the key for this solution can be accessed by key($words_ar)
}
}
while(next($words_ar));

it's too complicated that's why the function
ereg() was created!!!
