Joomla: Deprecated: Function eregi() is deprecated

[Dipak Bhoi]

Hello folks,

One of our customer was using old joomla version, he was facing facing issue with the site. It was showing an error as below:

Deprecated: Function eregi() is deprecated in  /home/someaccount/public_html/joomla/includes/Cache/Lite/Function.php on line 100

After investigating on it, I found that it was due to the php function "eregi". You just need to replace the code as below:

Old code:

eregi('SOMESTRING', something, somethingelse);

New code:

preg_match('/SOMESTRING/i', something, somethingelse);

That's all and issue solved.

Hope this post will help you.


Enjoy ...!!
