you could try downgrading to php 5.2.9 or using error_reporting(0); On Tue, Oct 19, 2010 at 2:24 PM, Brian Ngure <brian@pixie.co.ke> wrote:

You could ignore these warnings by using an @ sign. I think it is like this:

@eregi("^(https?:[\/]+[^\/]+)(.*$)", $mosConfig_live_site, $live_site_parts);

I have a site that's br0ken because of some deprecated php functions. Any takers who are willing to whip up an instant solution?

Here are the issues:

1. Deprecated: Function eregi() is deprecated in /usr/local/www/data-dist/siteA/includes/sef.php on line 533

Line 533 has this:

eregi("^(https?:[\/]+[^\/]+)(.*$)", $mosConfig_live_site, $live_site_parts);

2. Deprecated: Function eregi() is deprecated in /usr/local/www/data-dist/siteA/templates/rt_technopia/rt_supersucker.php on line 150

Line 150 has this:

f ( eregi( 'index.php\?', $row->link ) ) { if ( !eregi( 'Itemid=', $row->link ) ) { $row->link .= '&Itemid='. $row->id; }}

Clues are here - http://devthought.com/tumble/2009/06/fix-ereg-is-deprecated-errors-in-php-53... , that the eregi() function now becomes preg_match() but I am not good with php regexps.

Anyone willing to give me the modified functions?

Mr Washington,

eregi("^(https?:[\/]+[^\/]+)(.*$)", $mosConfig_live_site, $live_site_parts);

becomes preg_match("/^(https?\:[\/]+[^\/]+)(.*$)/i", $mosConfig_live_site, $live_site_parts);

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!!
