Deprecated Function? encodeHTML

[spikypunker]

Hi Guys, loving the new look!

 

I've got this developable software which i've bought and am trying to intergrate into my site but have encountered a problem. The company is based in Oz so the tech support replies come in the middle of the night and they werent very helpful, pretty much just told me what the error was so looks like i'm on my own in this one.

 

It's saying there's a deprecated function, so i'm guessing the code was written for an out of date PHP version?

 

Here's the error:

 

Deprecated: Function ereg_replace() is deprecated in /home/fotravel/htdocs/brandit/editor/editor/default.php on line 39 Deprecated: Function ereg_replace() is deprecated in /home/fotravel/htdocs/brandit/editor/editor/default.php on line 40 Deprecated: Function ereg_replace() is deprecated in /home/fotravel/htdocs/brandit/editor/editor/default.php on line 41

 

 

And here's the function i belive is in question:

 

 function encodeHTML($sHTML)
    {
    $sHTML=ereg_replace("&","&",$sHTML);
    $sHTML=ereg_replace("<","<",$sHTML);
    $sHTML=ereg_replace(">",">",$sHTML);
    return $sHTML;
    }

  echo encodeHTML(file_get_contents($file));

 

Could anyone suggest what to replace this function with?

 

 

Cheers! Peace Chris

function encodeHTML($sHTML)
{
    return htmlentities($sHTML);
}

echo encodeHTML(file_get_contents($file));

haha awesome! I used your first reply which worked but now have learnt a new function!

 

So this replaces all elements that needs a specific html code?

 

Cheers!
