I ran the following code which I got from page 205 of Pro. PHP4:

<?php

$date = "1/03/2003"
    if(ereg("([0-9]{1,2})-([0-9]{1,2})-([0-9]{4})",$date,$regs))
    {
        echo("$regs[2].$regs[1].$regs[3]");
    }
    else
    {
        echo("invalid: $date");
    }

?>

I go the error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_IF in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\PHP\Pro_PHP\Ch07\regex.php on line 4
Please help me find what I missed.
Thanks,
Sam.
P.S. I'm on a win2000 machine.
