[thelist] [regexp] I'm lost

ok, I want to allow entries containing only numbers (0-9),any case of
letters (a-zA-Z), '(', ')', '_', '-', and spaces.
Formatting a regular expression to check for this is somewhat confusing.
I have been through a couple of tutorials, and checked the php.net
manual pages for eregi() but am not making any progress.
here is what I have -
(for non-php coders - eregi is a non case-sensitive regexp function)
if(eregi('^[a-zA-z0-9]|\\(\\)\\-\\_+$', $value))
{return true;}
else
{return false;}
am I even close? (Results attest otherwise)
