How can I convert ereg expressions to preg in PHP?
(4 answers)
Closed 10 years ago.
So, i was using eregi in my mail script, but as of lately, i get the error that the function is deprecated.
So, what is the easiest way to replace the following bit of code:
if (!eregi("^[A-Z0-9._%-]+#[A-Z0-9._%-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}$", trim($_POST['email'])))?
Any help is appreciated :)
if (!preg_match("/^[A-Z0-9.%-]+#[A-Z0-9.%-]+.[A-Z]{2,4}$/", trim($_POST['email'])))
Using preg_match.
Because ereg_* functions is deprecated in PHP >= 5.3
Also for email validation better used filter_var
if (!filter_var(trim($_POST['email']), FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL))
echo 'Email is incorrect';

PHP Deprecated: Function eregi_replace() is deprecated in
The eregi_replace function is deprecated as of PHP 5.3. You should use preg_replace with the i modifier instead:
preg_replace('/:rolleyes:/i', '<img src="./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif" border="0">', $var);

The web hosting service provider upgraded to PHP 7.1 and it broke the contact form of the page. I've narrowed it down to this piece of code:
function check_email($mail)
{
$email_host = explode("#", $mail);
$email_host = $email_host['1'];
$email_resolved = gethostbyname($email_host);
if ($email_resolved != $email_host && #eregi("^[0-9a-z]([-_.~]?[0-9a-z])*#[0-9a-z]([-.]?[0-9a-z])*\\.[a-z]{2,4}$",$mail))
$valid = 1; return $valid;
}
I've found that the eregi function is no longer supported in PHP 7.1 but I dont know how and with what i should replace it.
Have a look at the documentation of eregi function in php.net:
Warning
This function was DEPRECATED in PHP 5.3.0, and REMOVED in PHP 7.0.0.
Alternatives to this function include:
preg_match() (with the i (PCRE_CASELESS) modifier)
You should always have a look there when it comes do deprecated functions.
For validating email addresses you could also use filter_var now:
if (filter_var('test#example.com', FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) {
echo "Email valid.";
}

I've read many threads here about this being deprecated and tried replacing it with preg_match but I don't know php enough to fix the rest of the line.
Been enjoying Fotoholder for years, I would switch to a newer similar single file gallery code but then I would lose all my descriptions in the gallery.
Please help resurrect Fotopholder!

Here are the 2 parts that have eregi:
if(substr($entry,0,1)!="." && !preg_match("#_cache#i",$entry) && is_dir($path."/".$entry)) {
and the 2nd eregi:
if(substr($entry,0,1)!="." && !eregi("_cache",$entry)) {
Thank you very much for your help.
Deprecated means, that the function eregi() is likely to get deleted from the language.
Please use preg_match().
While you still can use eregi(), at a certain point of time your application might not be able to execute any more.
That said: Your code posted is far to big to get a detailed answer.

I know there are a lot of questions related to this subject, but after some days of research I didn't find something that could help this particular case, so here it is:
I have replaced the deprecated eregi with preg_match in 2 files of my website, and now the capcha code gives an error on the registration page, even if the code is absolutely correct
On the registration page I have replaced this
function is_valid_username($username) {
if(!eregi("^[a-z0-9]*$", trim(str_replace(" ","",$username)))) {
return 0;
}
with this
if(!preg_match("^[a-z0-9]*$^", trim(str_replace(" ","",$username)))) {
return 0;
}
And in my second file I have replaced this:
if(!eregi("^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*#[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,4})$", $email)) {
$result = 0;
}
with this
if(!preg_match("^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*#[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,4})$^", $email)) {
$result = 0;
}
How can I resolve this issue?
eregi is case-insensitive, so you would need to add the i modifier to the end of your preg_match expression.
Also, ^ denotes the start of the input and you have used it as the delimiter.
So this should be more like the original:
#^[a-z0-9]*$#i
and
#^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*#[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,4})$#i
By the way, I don't know what your captcha code requires exactly, but there are easier ways to verify an email address using filter_var().

Deprecated code:
function validate_email($email)
{
return eregi("^[_\.0-9a-zA-Z-]+#([0-9a-zA-Z][0-9a-zA-Z-]+\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,6}$", $email);
}
I am a JavaScript beginner. The above code gives an error. I am not too sure how to rewrite using preg_match.
Try this instead
function validate_email($email)
{
return (1 === preg_match("/^[_\.0-9a-zA-Z-]+#([0-9a-zA-Z][0-9a-zA-Z-]+\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,6}$/i", $email));
}
preg_match() should be used rather than eregi. You must include the slashes at the begining and end of the pattern. And finally, the "/i" at the end of the pattern makes it case-insensitive.
