Fix `ereg is deprecated` errors in PHP 5.3

I’ve found that almost anything can be used as a delimiter with preg_match. I personally use ~ as I use it the least.

I’ve found that almost anything can be used as a delimiter with preg_match. I personally use ~ as it’s the least used character in my regex patterns.

Many thanks for this! I was up late doing a server migration, figured I’d upgrade to PHP 5.3… and of course I break one of my online stores, http://ambermariebently.com. Your fix saved me at 2am, I owe you big time I think:)

GREAT!GREAT!GREAT!

Thanks worked well

Thanks!

Many thanks for that, seems to have fixed 80% of my problems – only ones it doesn’t seem to fif is where ereg(‘^’ ) occurs replacing as you say produces a: Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Unknown modifier ‘a’ in…

But that’s in admin – I can live with that for a while as long as the front end work ;) Thank you

Thanks, excellent post. I would have expected this to show up on the php doc page for eregi, I guess they want you to figure it out yourself!

Clear Fix For NeverEnding Programmings !

What’s happen with split function deprecated too ?
veru simple : split() change for explode() in same conditions

Hi thank u very much, it helped me a lot………

Thanks!! Really!! I Luv U!!!

Thank you very much for this clear and simple explanation ! Much appreciated.

It’s worth noting that whilst ereg returns FALSE when there is no match, preg_match returns 0.

A lot of thanks!!

Thanks alot its working. also i have a problem with split

Function split() is deprecated if you have any idea can u share with us

thx!

Thank you!

can’t resolve this one

$msg =ereg_replace(“(http|https|ftp|gopher|news)://([$ACCEPT_CHARS]+)”, “\\1://\\2” , $msg);

Can I ask a really stupid question……what file am i supposed to edit? i cant find that code in the php.ini file. Am I being stupid??!!

Hi.

Can you please tell me what should I change in the code below to make things work:
$check_url = str_replace(“\”", “”, $check_url);
if ((eregi(“]*script*\”?[^>]*>”, $check_url)) || (eregi(“]*object*\”?[^>]*>”, $check_url)) ||
(eregi(“]*iframe*\”?[^>]*>”, $check_url)) || (eregi(“]*applet*\”?[^>]*>”, $check_url)) ||
(eregi(“]*meta*\”?[^>]*>”, $check_url)) || (eregi(“]*style*\”?[^>]*>”, $check_url)) ||
(eregi(“]*form*\”?[^>]*>”, $check_url)) || (eregi(“\([^>]*\”?[^)]*\)”, $check_url)) ||
(eregi(“\”", $check_url))) {

I got this error:

Thank you.

Hi, thanks for your writing. I fixed almost all deprecations as your guide, but except this code:

if (preg_match(‘^’.$arrParam[0].’=', $value))

When I put / / as delimiter before and after ^ to become:

if (preg_match(‘/^/’.$arrParam[0].’=', $value))

I keep getting error as:

Unknown modifier ‘r’ in C:/Program Files/EasyPHP5.3.0/www/taskfreak/include/classes/tzn_generic.php

Note: tzn_generic.php is the file I put above code.

Please help me.

Many thanks,
Seri

what about this

if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']) AND isset($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'])) {
$visitorInfo['referer'] = (!eregi($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'],$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'])) ? $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] : “” ;
} else {
$visitorInfo['referer'] = “”;
}

Hi.. ereg() with preg_match() is working well

Great site. helps me a lot.

Thanks for this! It helped me writing a Perl script that find all these deprecated functions.
You can download the script here:
http://nthinking.net/index.html#reDeprec.html

A very usefull post, it saved my day. Thnx

Very elegant solution!

Hi!

I use sql_regcase, that is is deprecated.

Did you know an sql_regcase alternative ?

Example (to remove sql syntax):
$string = preg_replace(sql_regcase(“/(from|select|insert|delete|where|drop table|show tables|#|\*|–|\\\\)/”),”",$string);

Thank you!

hi
i have appserv 2.6.0 and i setup oscommerce 2.2rc and i recive this error

Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_magic_quotes_gpc() in C:\AppServ\www\catalog\admin\includes\functions\compatibility.php on line 46

Set the error reporting to E_ALL ^E_DEPRECATED where it is currently being set to E_ALL

change error_reporting(E_ALL); to
error_reporting(E_ALL ^E_DEPRECATED);

and everything will be perfect.

I have this problem:

Function eregi() is deprecated in C:\xampp\htdocs\catalog\admin\file_manager.php on line 29

if (!eregi(‘^’ . DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT, $current_path)) $current_path = DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT;

How can i fix this?

Thanks

I have this problem

Deprecated: Function ereg() is deprecated in C:\xampp\htdocs\member.php on line 109

if (!ereg(“MSIE”,$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']))

How can i fix this?

Installed osC 2.2 on web server and went fine. To develop locally, I installed XAMPP on local computer, then installed osC 2.2 locally and got this error. Great post, easy to follow, fixed my problem!

I’m having troubles using preg_match() on a constant.
How to convert this old line? BASEURL is a constant.

eregi(BASEURL, $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'])

We had a similar issue, but our ereg was comparing the contents of a variable to something else – ereg($AllowedTypes,getExt($sFileName). I found a workaround that may help alot of people here…

What preg_match (the replacement for ereg) is looking for is delimiters around the value. THis works great, unless you have a variable that’s used elsewhere and changing the value won’t work.

What I did was to write the line as such:

preg_match(“#”.$AllowedTypes.”#”,getExt($sFileName)

effectively enclosing the value in #s as the delimiter. BTW – the ‘/’ is not the required delmititer, it can be just about anything, as long as it’s the same on both ends. Adding the # front and back did the trick. A hack? Yeah, probably, but it does work. Saved my ass, for sure.

Thanks for this page. It is really clear.

Thanx alot its very helpful

Nice topic . Thank you for posting it !

Deprecated: Function eregi() is deprecated in C:\wamp\www\memories-on-gold\includes\classes\language.php on line 87 any one help me.

Thank you :)

I’m wondering if there is way to simply not display the deprecated error notices??

Mate thanks a lot !
You just saved hours of hard working for me !

Thanks a lot Mate!!
you saved me today!!
Thanks.. :-)

you saved me!
another important thing is to replace \\1 with \${1} (I’ve found that out the hard way) :D

Hi, just run in to this problem on a whole load of contact forms. Can someone please help with this:

$mailHeader .= “Message-ID: \r\n”;

Thanks loads!

Thank you very much!!! I’m less than a rank beginner in coding of any kind; but your clear “instructions” allowed me to replace ereg_replace() with preg_replace()after having my server updated from PHP 5.2.x to PHP 5.3.8. and therefore showing the usual error messages on many pages throughout my site.

Just one question… The pages seem to be loading slower now than they did before updating PHP. Is that a consequence of migrating to preg_replace ()?

thanks again and Friendly regards

I tried this and my page is still not working. It return an error of:
PHP Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Delimiter must not be alphanumeric or backslash in /home/standup/public_html/templates/v5/browser.php on line 27

Here is a look at what I tried:

elseif (preg_match(“/BeOS/i”, $agent))
$bd['platform'] = “BeOS”;

*****************************************

Can anyone look at this code and show me what to do for my situation? Below is what I started with before making the preg_match.

class browser{

var $Name = “Unknown”;
var $Version = “Unknown”;
var $Platform = “Unknown”;
var $UserAgent = “Not reported”;
var $AOL = false;

function browser(){
$agent = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];

// initialize properties

$val = explode(“/”,$val);
$bd['browser'] = $val[0];
$val = explode(” “,$val[1]);
$bd['version'] = $val[0];
}else{
$val = explode(” “,stristr($val,”opera”));

Hi there, Thanks for this – Total life saver. I have had to change hundreds of lines in an outdated CMS I use and it has all gone OK except I ran across one area that I cannot figure (or test). Wonder if someone can correct this for me:

elseif(eregi($ip, $clientip))

Thanks in advance. :-)

I used this:

elseif(preg_match(“/$ip, $clientip/”i))

Hopefully it is correct – The CMS still seems to work. :-)

BTW Diana,

I think your problem on line 27 is the delimiters. It should work by using a different delimiter:

// find operating system
if (preg_match(“#win#i”, $agent))
$bd['platform'] = “Windows”;
elseif (preg_match(“#mac#i”, $agent))
$bd['platform'] = “MacIntosh”;
elseif (preg_match(“#linux#i”, $agent))
$bd['platform'] = “Linux”;
elseif (preg_match(“#OS/2#i″, $agent))
$bd['platform'] = “OS/2″;
elseif (preg_match(“#BeOS#i”, $agent))
$bd['platform'] = “BeOS”;

And so on…

preg_match sometimes makes things worse :(

you van also replace all eregi by mb_ereg

all the comments that ive seen here have work well, but im having trouble with displaying images.
