Update to PHP 5.3.1 generates eregi_replace() error

[jhawkins002]

Greetings!

We applied an update yesterday to upgrade our server to PHP 5.3.1 and Easy PHP Calendar was peppered with the following messages:

Deprecated: Function eregi_replace() is deprecated in /home/admin/public_html/labs/reservations/functions/blog.php on line 225

Deprecated: Function eregi_replace() is deprecated in /home/admin/public_html/labs/reservations/functions/blog.php on line 292

Deprecated: Function eregi_replace() is deprecated in /home/admin/public_html/labs/reservations/functions/blog.php on line 321

Deprecated: Function eregi_replace() is deprecated in /home/admin/public_html/labs/reservations/functions/blog.php on line 326

Deprecated: Function eregi_replace() is deprecated in /home/admin/public_html/labs/reservations/functions/blog.php on line 333

Deprecated: Function eregi_replace() is deprecated in /home/admin/public_html/labs/reservations/functions/blog.php on line 341

Deprecated: Function eregi_replace() is deprecated in /home/admin/public_html/labs/reservations/functions/blog.php on line 391

And so on...After a quick google, the issue seems to be the use of eregi_replace() instead of preg_replace() - as it appears eregi_replace() is now depreciated. Will this be fixed in an upcoming version? We are running a full license of the current build (6.3.28).

Thanks for your assistance!

Thanks for the quick response Brian! Out of curiosity, any news on when the next release might land?

[Brian]

Actually, it was going to be released this week (Version 6.3.29). But I will try to squeeze in this update too.

You are awesome; best of luck on the release, and congrats on creating a very useful piece of software!

Hello I'm having the same problem:

Deprecated: Function eregi_replace() is deprecated in /home/****/public_html/calendar/functions/functions.inc.php on line 56

Deprecated: Function eregi_replace() is deprecated in /home/****/public_html/calendar/functions/listings.php on line 260

etc.

I'm also having this error when accessing calendar.php

PHP Warning: Division by zero in /home/****/public_html/calendar/functions/dateMarking.php on line 845

It seems like an endless loop that might be cause due the previous error.

any idea of when will this be fixed?

Thanks!

We are testing the solution right now...

If you would like to test the fix for this, please open a support ticket. (We need a few Beta testers before we can release the code).

I am having a similar problem:

Deprecated: Function eregi_replace() is deprecated in /home/saladoci/public_html/calendar/functions/listings.php on line 260

and more

Please open a support ticket so we can give you access to the test files.

I tested the files and the eregi error has disappeared, but I still get the following one specially when trying to navigate the calendar to a date or month in the past:

PHP Warning: jdtogregorian() expects parameter 1 to be long, string given in /home/****/public_html/calendar/functions/dateMarking.php on line 259
PHP Warning: Division by zero in /home/****/public_html/calendar/functions/dateMarking.php on line 845
PHP Warning: Division by zero in /home/****/public_html/calendar/functions/dateMarking.php on line 845
...

I'm not sure about your division by zero error. This has nothing to do with the eregi error message.

What database type are you using and how many events do you have in it. It sounds like you have an event set as repeating but set the repeat amount to zero (which isn't possible in the admin).

[Brian]

PincelDigital, what version of mySQL are you using and which encoder?

[PincelDigital]

Hi! I'm sorry... I'm using the file database and the ioncube encoder 5.3.
