This thread inspired me to google for a POSIX to PCRE converter.
I found a thread from this list from 2002:
http://marc.info/?l=php-internals&m=103625548402350&w=2
Ilia proposed a patch that would replace the ereg library
with code that would allow an ereg userland call to be
processed with the PCRE library (if I've understood the
2002 post correctly).
I'm not complaining about dropping ereg nor taking a position
on whether many or few would complain about dropping ereg.
I just wanted to point out some past work that might be
applicable lest someone start from scratch.
BTW, thank you to all who have contributed to php.
