updating ereg functions

[davey10101]

Hi, Im trying to install a plugin to my script that was built for an older version of php.

It contains the following, which were giving me deprecated function errors

 

ereg_match("name=([^&]+)",$params,$res);
$params=ereg_replace("name=([^&]+)","name=".$name,$params);

 

I updated the functions..

 

preg_match("name=([^&]+)",$params,$res);
$params=preg_replace("name=([^&]+)","name=".$name,$params);

 

but am getting the error:-

 

Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Delimiter must not be alphanumeric or backslash

 

Can anyone help me, cheers.

preg_match("/name=([^&]+)/",$params,$res);

 

Is this a query string? ie ?a=somethign&b=somethingelse&name=something

 

If so it might be worth you looking at parse_str()

Not sure about it being a query string, it's a plugin with thousands of line of code....

Works a treat though now, many thanks
