If you try to install systems like OSCommerce on PHP 5.3.x you may got strange
error like “ereg is deprecated…”.

Here is the solution!!!

1	ereg('RegExp', $x $y);

becomes

1	preg_match('/RegExp/', $x $y);

dont forget “/ /” between the regexp code!!!

Same for “ereg_replace”

1	ereg_replace('RegExp', $x, $y);

becomes

1	preg_replace('/RegExp/', $x, $y);

Thanks,
