Where have you looked to try to find the function descriptions for the
php replace functions?

From php.org, there's a big warning not to use ereg_replace because it's
deprecated in php 5.3. It uses the POSIX regex pattern matching style
to do the string matching and replace.

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ereg-replace.php

preg_replace uses the PERL string matching symantics which is slightly
different from POSIX. It's also more robust, but it used to be slower
than the ereg functions but that might not be the case any more.

What part of this is confusing you?
