eregi() function depricated php 5.3.1

[Larry Stowell]

I am running PP 6.2 and recently upgraded our server to php 5.3.1 and we now encounter a problem with the eregi() function. Is there a simple fix for this issue. Here is the code in the pp-inc.php file (line 79) that throws error messages.

function typecast_wc($pattern, $type)
{
// Let's import the GPC variables
global $_GET, $_POST, $_COOKIE;

foreach ($_GET AS $key => $val)
{
if ( eregi("^".$pattern, $key) )
{
typecast($_GET, array( $key => $type));
}
}

// Overwrites GET with POST
foreach ($_POST as $key => $val)
{
if ( eregi("^".$pattern, $key) )
{
typecast($_POST, array( $key => $type));
}
}
}

Thanks for the help.

@eregi

You can place @ before the function.

This is something we are addressing in the next update

I fixed that error but I am seeing
Function ereg_replace() is deprecated in /home/fgmcccom/public_html/photopost/pp-inc.php on line 2394

Do I need to add the @ to the 5 places ereg_replace is?

Have you upgraded to the latest code. 6.2 is definately going to have some issues like this with newer php versions since that code is over 4 years old or so.
