Deprecated: Function eregi() is deprecated in Campphtdocsnewoscmaxsiteincludesclasseslanguage.php on line 87
is the error mages I get after installing latest oscmax version on the latest xampp package.
It has php5.3 in which the eregi is deprecated but I cannot figure out with which to replace that function in classes/....

Anyone here maybe?

Thank you!

Right, found that too, changed the code but then get an error
- preg_match not found ..
and after that a problem: ^ is without delimiter.
But solution is this IF I am not mistaken * site works although some more eregi's must be replaced.

if (preg_match('/^(' . $value . ')(;q=[0-9]\.[0-9])?$/i', $this->browser_languages[$i]) && isset($this->catalog_languages[$key])) {
$this->language = $this->catalog_languages[$key];

There are several hundred instances of ereg() in osCMax that will have to be changed. I have already completed about 80% of these changes and should have the commit ready for SVN (2.1) in a couple of days. I want to test the changes before committing, since there are so many.

Recently I was bombarded all over catalog and admin areas with ereg() and eregi() errors too. Latest ver. of osCMax is tested on local machine under XAMPP Lite 1.7.2. For ex.: " Deprecated: Function ereg() is deprecated in C:\xampplite\htdocs\catalog\includes\configure_bts .php on line 167 " . Ereg() change to preg_match() results this - "Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: No ending delimiter '^' found in C:\xampplite\htdocs\catalog\includes\configure_bts .php on line 167
Illegal template directory!" .
Is there any cure for these errors? Thanks

What version of PHP are you using? Sounds like your server has upgraded php and not told you ... If you are using php v5.3 then you are going to get a load of these errors ...

Read the link that Michael posted ... it will explain what is going wrong ... in the meantime you can wait for Michael to change the source or simply use a host that uses a lower version of PHP - I am surprised to hear that your host is already using v5.3 - (if this is the case).

If you know what you are doing then perhaps you might be able to offer to help Michael out making/testing the changes to the code ...

If ocCMax v2.0.3 is tested/developed on localhost under XAMPP (Lite) v.1.7.2 , the shortest way to skip Deprecated errors of eregi() &/or ereg() functions is simple - downgrade Xampp to ver.1.7.1 with PHP 5.2.9.

At least at the moment this post is written.

Most are easily fixed. But what would be the solution when you have ereg(’^’) If you do it based on the instructions in the link Michael had above you get an unknown modifier error.

specifically

if (!ereg('^' . DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT, $current_path)) $current_path = DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT;

does not work as

if (preg_match('/^/' . DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT, $current_path)) $current_path = DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT;

Here is a workaround until we roll out the patch.

In includes/application_top.php and admin/includes/application_top.php

find:

  //set the level of error reporting
  error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE); 
  

replace with:

 //set the level of error reporting
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_DEPRECATED);
