Is it possible to remove the ereg functions? We have a strict policy to only use preg as they are more reliable and faster. So, I am not to happy that PHP is bloated with these ereg functions. Any thoughts?
Wow, it's like a plague out there. :) No way. ereg() has got to be used by millions of code lines around the world. I don't see it being removed in this millennium. These functions can fit nicely into the lean-and-mean approach. Zeev
