Troubles with a spider class

I am building a spider that will crawl through random whitepages (eg. anywho.com, switchboard.com, whitepages.com, etc..) and collect the information on the people found there and throw it into a database. So far I've only made this little prototype, however after trying to run it I've run into a bunch of problems....a lot of them I fixed but there are some with the expressions that I can't figure out.
Here are the errors:
QuoteWarning: preg_match_all() [function.preg-match-all]: Compilation failed: missing ) at offset 57 in /home/public_html/spider/inc/anywho.class.php on line 51
Warning: preg_match_all() [function.preg-match-all]: Delimiter must not be alphanumeric or backslash in /home/public_html/spider/inc/anywho.class.php on line 72

Warning: preg_replace() [function.preg-replace]: No ending delimiter '*' found in /home/public_html/spider/inc/anywho.class.php on line 96
Along with these it isn't printing out the info like it is suppose to on line 56 of anywho.class.php
As to the fact that these are two files and a little bigger then the normal "snippet" I posted them both in a pin board. The links are below.
Spider Class: http://www.coderprofile.com/networks/code-pin-board/258/spiderclassphp
Anywho Class: http://www.coderprofile.com/networks/code-pin-board/257/anywhospiderclassphp
And here is the source of the form page:
Code: <?php
require("spider.class.php");
require("anywho.class.php");
$spider=new spider("Lorem Ipsum","Lorem Ipsum","Lorem Ipsum","localhost",15);
$any=new anywho;
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
$state=$_POST['state'];
$last=$_POST['last'];
$first = (isset($_POST['first'])) ? $_POST['first'] : null;
$street = (isset($_POST['street'])) ? $_POST['street'] : null;
$zip = (isset($_POST['zip'])) ? $_POST['zip'] : null;
$any->initialize($last,$state,$first,$street,$city,$zip);
$any->any_crawl($any->url,0,1);
}
?>
<form action="index.php" method="post">
Last Name: <input type="text" name="last">*
First Name: <input type="text" name="first">
Street: <input type="text" name="street">
Zip: <input type="text" name="zip">
State:
<select name="state" style="height:17px; font-size:9px;">
<option value="">Select a State</option>
<option value="AL" selected="selected" >Alabama</option>
...........................
...........................
<option value="WY">Wyoming</option>
</select>*
<input type="submit" value="Crawl" name="submit">
</form>
I'm really sorry about the messy code and poor documentation.
Also I really appreciate any and all replies!
