Use the PCRE functions (such as preg_grep) instead.

Description:
------------
I use posix regexp for log parsing and its extremely useful.
If it would be deprecated, I'd have to rewrite alot of code.

Yes, of course, I could call system() and use egrep, but it's weightier
and unsafer way to get some sophisticated stings out of a huge log.

Reproduce code:
---------------
---
From manual page: function.ereg
---


Expected result:
----------------
POSIX RegExp functions to be not deprecated



------------------------------------------------------------------------
