While I know that ... - All ereg functions are deprecated and emit E_DEPRECATED errors. Use PCRE (preg_*()) instead. ... is accurate, I think a little more detail would help here, since many of us probably did not know that 'split' was an ereg function - for instance? I THINK that split() maps to explode() without needing any mapping of the parameters? But ereg_replace to preg_replace is not quite so easy? and when looking to convert someone else's legacy code, trying to understand some mappings can be a problem. Does anybody have a useful reference that would help in converting from one to the other?
