Deprecated: Function ereg() is deprecated

[jamietrent]

here is the line that the error is on.

ereg('([a-z]{1,2})(-([a-z0-9]+))?(;q=([0-9\.]+))?',$lang,$fo und);

As of PHP 5.3 ereg is deprecated, meaning it is no longer supported. You should switch to the preg class of functions.

here is the line that the error is on.

ereg('([a-z]{1,2})(-([a-z0-9]+))?(;q=([0-9\.]+))?',$lang,$fo und);

I think this is the translation:
preg_match_all( '/([a-z]{1,2})(-([a-z0-9]+))?(;q=([0-9\.]+))?/', $lang, $found);

Maybe take it for a spin? I had to do this once to drupal to get it to run on my server, and this was the solution, I think.

The functions are similar, except on the pattern, add a "/" char at the beginning and the end.
