why i m getting error here???

Warning: ereg(): REG_BADBR


code:
if(!ereg("^(.){15,400}$",$string)) {
$errormsg[1] = "- Must be more then 15 Characters & less then 400
Characters";
}


Want to Achive:
$string is a textarea, i want the user to input atleast 15 characters
and shldnt exceed more then 400 characters!


Don't know, but why would you need to use a regexp for so trivial case?
Remember the KISS rule: Keep it simple, stupid.

if( ($len = strlen($string)) < 15 || $len > 400) {
$errormsg[1] = "- Must be more then 15 Characters & less then 400
Characters";
}
