ereg is not my thing but I'm pretty sure your line should look like this

if (eregi("(^{(.*)+[0-9a-z]+$"),} $user_details['mbs_username'], $reg))

Try it,

Indeed. the pattern is a string, so it must be quoted.

PS ^ means 'start of string' so there can be nothing before this character (unless you can somehow put a character in a string before the start of the string :-) )
