Deprecated: Function ereg() is deprecated when install Drupal

Posted at November 23, 2009

At previous post about install drupal in localhost using wamp I got this message :

Deprecated: Function ereg() is deprecated in C:\wamp\www\drupal\includes\file.inc on line 902

That message appear because I use latest wamp software that utilize php 5.3.0 where ereg() function is deprecated.

Quick solution for this case are :

1. Downgrade wamp to previous version

2. Edit php source file of drupal.

I prefer to choose second solution since I love to learn new thing

I have tried a few php function like preg_replace() and mb_ereg()

After test each function I think mb_ereg() is good solution.

Back to the problem I open file :

file.inc

C:\wamp\www\drupal\includes\file.inc

scroll to line 902

change ereg in line to mb_ereg to make the line transform into :

elseif ($depth >= $min_depth && mb_ereg($mask, $file)) {

Save the file and retry open http://batikweb.com

This time I got this :

Nice, I can continue to installation steps

Stay health!

Thanks a lot. I dont have admin access. Older WAMP requires admin access. Your patch as per 2 helped to work on Drupal w/o 902
