I never found ereg_ to be particularly descriptive of what they do. I don't know, but I like pcre_match and pcre_replace much better than preg and preg_replace. Any other opinions? Well, it may be a bit late in the game to change it. How about a function alias? I don't care if you use pcre_ or preg_ but eliminating preg() and replacing it with preg_match() is probably going to give us some support headaches. If preg_match() is an alias for preg() it should be fine.

I think having aliases when not for backwards compatibility is a bad thing to do. We should decide on one set of function names and stick to them. Personally I prefer the preg over pcre. I think it'll be more intuitive for users. Andi --- Andi Gutmans <andi@zend.com> ICQ: 1568297 -- PHP 4 Beta
