Function ereg_replace() is deprecated - How to clear this bug? [duplicate]
Switch to preg_replace
Docs and update the expression to use preg syntax (PCRE) instead of ereg syntax (POSIX) where there are differencesDocs (just as it says to do in the manual for ereg_replace
Docs).
print $input."<hr>".ereg_replace('/&/', ':::', $input);
becomes
print $input."<hr>".preg_replace('/&/', ':::', $input);
More example :
$mytext = ereg_replace('[^A-Za-z0-9_]', '', $mytext );
is changed to
$mytext = preg_replace('/[^A-Za-z0-9_]/', '', $mytext );
