Fix on installation : replacing eregi depreciated for preg_match

for those who has xampp with php 5.3.0 and has problems on the setup should change the line 362:

if (!eregi('(.+)@(.+)\.(.+)', $SupportEmail)) $Context->WarningCollector->Add('The email address you entered doesn’t appear to be valid.');

by

if (!preg_match("/^[A-Z0-9._%-]+@[A-Z0-9][A-Z0-9.-]{0,61}[A-Z0-9]\.[A-Z]{2,6}$/i", $SupportEmail)) $Context->WarningCollector->Add('The email address you entered doesn’t appear to be valid.');

why? php 5.3 depreciated eregi function.

correspondent replacements for further versions shouls be applied bases on this information:

To migrate ereg():

ereg('\.([^\.]*$)', $this->file_src_name, $extension);

becomes

preg_match('/\.([^\.]*$)/', $this->file_src_name, $extension);

Notice that I wrapped the pattern (\.([^\.]*$)) around / /, which are RegExp delimiters. If you find yourself escaping / too much (for an URL for example), you might want to use the # delimiter instead.

To migrate ereg_replace():

$this->file_dst_name_body = ereg_replace('[^A-Za-z0-9_]', '', $this->file_dst_name_body);

becomes

$this->file_dst_name_body = preg_replace('/[^A-Za-z0-9_]/', '', $this->file_dst_name_body);

Again, I just added delimiters to the pattern.
If you are using eregi functions (which are the case-insensitive version of ereg), you’ll notice there’re no equivalent pregi functions. This is because this functionality is handled by RegExp modifiers.

Basically, to make the pattern match characters in a case-insensitive way, append i after the delimiter:

eregi('\.([^\.]*$)', $this->file_src_name, $extension);

becomes

preg_match('/\.([^\.]*$)/i', $this->file_src_name, $extension);

Klaus have been working on removing all those php 5.3 warnings. Vanilla 1.1.10 should be out soon.

Yes, it is already fixed in the upcoming version.

Anyway most people aren't affected by it, because usually PHP warnings and notices are turned off on production servers
