note 93222 added to function.eregi

"Warning This function has been DEPRECATED as of PHP 5.3.0 and REMOVED as of PHP 6.0.0. Relying on this feature is highly discouraged." Thank you kindly for the warning, however this is very unhelpful in finding an alternative. Could you please recommend alternative functions when something is deprecated or about to be removed?
