since PHP6 won't support ereg at all, i had a bit of free time to go through the code on all my websites to convert ereg to preg (which, for the most part, isn't especially difficult)...since i tend to reuse functions pretty regularly, it's not a big chore
i do, however, have this line in my email-checking function that is giving me trouble, but that's because i don't know my regex as well as i should:
ereg("^(([A-Za-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-][A-Za-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~\.-]{0,63})|(\"[^(\\|\")]{0,62}\"))$",$local_array[$i])converting it to preg_match causes problems with the =
preg_match("/^(([A-Za-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-][A-Za-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~\.-]{0,63})|(\"[^(\\|\")]{0,62}\"))$/i",$local_array[$i])suggestions?
also, the reason i didn't put this into the regex thread is because i was going to ask advice on the filter_var function that was new in 5.2.0...anyone using it? any reason NOT to use it?
here's a list of constants, if anyone's interested:

i thought you could still use eregi?
this is currently working for me (file uploads):
if (eregi('(.jpg)|(.jpeg)^', $sFileName)) {
$sMimeType = 'image/jpeg';

sweet, i didn't know about the filter_var thing 
preg_match("/^(([A-Za-z0-9!#$%&'*+\/=?^_`{|}~-][A-Za-z0-9!#$%&'*+\/=?^_`{|}~\.-]{0,63})|(\"[^(\\|\")]{0,62}\"))$/i",$local_array[$i])

ah, i think this will do it

i don't think so, based on the other bits i've converted, but i'll keep it in mind
thanks! 11/6/2009 7:30:34 PM |
