Pattern Help

[Shawazi]

In an ereg("pattern","variable")

What signs do I use if I want the pattern to have
'blah' with any amount of characters before or after it, just that I need it to have blah somewhere in it.

[codeDV]

<?php
 ereg ('blah', "gthegdgblahggeo");
?>

That will match 'blah' anywhere in the variable.
