Topic: Function ereg_replace() is deprecated

[nineback]

Anyone know how to get rid of this error message:

/home/kq5s02/public_html/weather/cloud-base.php on line 1242
[22-Jan-2013 02:23:48 UTC] PHP Deprecated:  Function ereg_replace() is deprecated in

I am not sure how to write the PHP code to use, I assume, preg_replace.

Thanks.

Yes, the ereg_replace() is deprecated in PHP5+

you have to use preg_replace() instead, but... it has a slightly different syntax.

Line 1242:

Code: [Select]

      $metar[1] = ereg_replace("[\n\r]+",'',$raw_metar[1]); // strip linefeeds
change to

Code: [Select]

      $metar[1] = preg_replace('|[\n\r]+|s','',$raw_metar[1]); // strip linefeeds

Change line 1274

Code: [Select]

      $page = ereg_replace("[\n\r]+",'',implode(" ",$page));
to

Code: [Select]

      $page = preg_replace('|[\n\r]+|s','',implode(" ",$page));

Change line 1280

Code: [Select]

      $metar[1] = ereg_replace("[\n\r]+",'',$raw_metar); // strip linefeeds
to

Code: [Select]

      $metar[1] = preg_replace('|[\n\r]+|s','',$raw_metar); // strip linefeeds

Thanks Ken.  I made the changes.  I knew the syntax was different and tried a few times to change it but alas I am not a PHP programmer.
