Function eregi() is deprecated
 

We have upgraded the server recently to php5.3.3
It has caused some excitement, but we have managed to deal with most of the issues now. Stuck with this one below though

Its the Point of Sale module from BCE Engineerring.
They are sure its nothing to do with their module, although the errors point at their encrypted files.

Anyone know where else we could look to correct this error

Its a 4.1.9 installation

Did you upgrade the Ioncube loaders?

If those files are not encoded you can edit them and replace eregi with preg_match

Re: Function eregi() is deprecated
 

Yes that function (eregi) is not used in our POS module. I'm not sure why your server is saying it is. I've looked at all the old archives as well. Not in there.

You can email us your zip if you want, or just those two files and we can see if the encryption mechanism has put them in there for some reason.

Interesting, just found this on a Marketing Manager install as well. Any insight on this one Carrie?

Re: Function eregi() is deprecated
 

We use the same encryption software. Maybe it has to do with that?

Do you want to drop Kurt an email or should I?

I'll open a ticket with them

Re: Function eregi() is deprecated
 

we have paid to have the ioncube loaders updated, but no joy

Sending the files to BCSE

Re: Function eregi() is deprecated
 

Seems to be every file in the set affected. I just quoted the fist few lines

Re: Function eregi() is deprecated
 

I had to get a new file from Firetank for my issue.

Re: Function eregi() is deprecated
 

Hopefully you have contacted us. Our files do not use that function and never have that I see. It's likely the encryption mechanism I'm thinking.

thanks,

Re: Function eregi() is deprecated
 

you can turn off deprecation warnings in the php.ini file with this:

error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED

or you can put it in the xcart code (I don't know where though)

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED);

search on php.net for more info.

Re: Function eregi() is deprecated
 

BCSE agreed eventually that it was their files
unfortunately that was November 23rd and it is still not working, so best to avoid this addon if you plan to upgrade your server to php5.3 any time soon.

Re: Function eregi() is deprecated
 

It's not our files though. That part isn't correct. It's our encryptor that does it. We are working with the vendor that encrypts our files for a fix. We just got one the other day but since it effects our whole distribution system, I must test it off hours. I'm hoping to have that done this week.

Thank you,

Carrie
