Mr Washington,

and
( eregi( 'index.php\?', $row->link ) ) { if ( !eregi( 'Itemid=', $row->link ) ) { $row->link .= '&Itemid='. $row->id; }}
becomes
( preg_match( '/index.php\?/i', $row->link ) ) { if ( !preg_match( '/Itemid\=/i', $row->link ) ) { $row->link .= '&Itemid='. $row->id; }}
Basically, preg functions use the Perl regular expressions engine which are only slightly different from ereg, only more interesting ;-) .
Some authorities discourage the practice of supressing errors.
I hope umesaidika buda.

Hello Ndungi, Thanks so much, only this came a little bit too late. After sitting down and reading for a bout 1 day, I discovered that the PHP people are MAD PEOPLE - I mean those guys at php.net. If they are not mad, then http://www.php.net/manual/en/migration53.incompatible.php tells something about them. With php-5.3.3, they have rendered most CMSes simply unusable, until they are re-programmed. Something like Joomla-1.5.21 does not work with php-5.3.3. You have to go in and replace all those incompatible functions. But their level of madness is understandable, and acceptable, since there is php-5.2.14, which is what I fell back to. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Damn!!
