In PHP 7.x, ereg functions are no longer supported. Based on my search on internet, ereg functions use a very limited regex flavor called POSIX ERE.
Below example shows the alternative method in preg functions
| ereg functions | Recommended functions |
|---|---|
ereg $source = "My email address is ck@qsok.com";
if (ereg("email", $source)) {
echo "the source has 'email' on the content";
}
| preg_match $source = "My email address is ck@qsok.com";
if (preg("/email/", $source)) {
echo "the source has 'email' on the content";
}
|
eregi $source = "My email address is ck@qsok.com";
if (eregi("chun kang", $source)) {
echo "the source has 'chun kang' on the content";
}
| preg_match $source = "My email address is ck@qsok.com";
if (preg_match("/Chun Kang/i", $source)) {
echo "the source has 'email' on the content";
}
