To match "this" or "that" in string $str, I believe I would use this:
eregi("(this|that)", $str)
but what if I want to match "this" AND "that"?
I suppose I could use this:
eregi("this", $str) && eregi("that", $str)
But is there a better way?

Is this saying: match the four letters "this" followed by a period, then
any combinbation of characters, then the four letters "that" (and vice
versa). What does the period do?

The period stands for 'any character'. So .* stands for: zero or more of
any character.

I see. So, "this.*that" can be loosely understood to mean "match this and
that"?

Yep: this anything-in-between-and that
