The manual is the best place to start.

 

http://php.net/manual/en/function.eregi.php

Which links to

Thanks for the reply xyph,

 

My problem is i am now running the latest version of php and using a script from version 4.2 i realize eregi has been deprecated since PHP 5.3.0, i was hoping someone could be kind enough to tell me what the new code would be to fix these errors

what the new code would be to fix these errors

 

Use preg_match instead of eregi, as the manual suggests. Remember to add delimiters to the pattern.
