Topic: Function eregi() is deprecated in /clientraw_data.php - RESOLVED

[Ian.]

Hi,

After changing host (no prizes for why) I have the following error logged:

Function eregi() is deprecated in /home/redpis/public_html/clientraw_data.php on line 79 (and loads of others)

Searching this forum on a similar depreciation problem led me to this site and its conclusions:

eregi('\.([^\.]*$)', $this->file_src_name, $extension);

change to:

preg_match('/\.([^\.]*$)/i', $this->file_src_name, $extension);

the problem is I can't locate where in clientraw_data.php (attached and saved as a txt file) on the lines identified, what change is needed, nothing relates to the fix, (nothing in brackets where I can add characters etc)

Any help or guidance appreciated as always

Ian

Try the attached version... all the eregi('...' were replaced with preg_match('/.../i' constructs

Best regards,

Many thanks Ken, I thought of doing a 'find and replace', but decided the week had been bad enough without me adding to it

As an aside, 300+ of these were in the web log:

is my humble blog under attack?

Yes, there are a lot of troller-scripts looking for wp-login and wp-admin.  Looks like your server is blocking them (good).

Also good if you're on the current release of WordPress .. if not, I'd recommend updating to the current release.

On WXForum.net, I see the doorknob-rattlers looking for wp-admin/wp-login all the time.  We don't run WordPress, so it gets them a 404-Not Found, and the persistent ones get added to .htaccess to receive a 403-Forbidden for their troubles.

Best regards,
Ken
