    I have a few ereg expressions that no longer work in PHP 7 and I read that the equivalence is preg_match

    Would really appreciate if anyone with experience can help with how to convert those.
    Code:
    if (!ereg("^[^@]{1,64}@[^@]{1,255}$", $email)) {
if (!ereg("^(([A-Za-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-][A-Za-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~\.-]{0,63})|(\"[^(\\|\")]{0,62}\"))$", $local_array[$i])) {
if (!ereg("^\[?[0-9\.]+\]?$", $email_array[1])) {

    Isn't that bash code not related to php ?

    Sorry for the stupid question but i am not a developer and i am just wondering on that as it doesn't seem as php code to me :)

    First backup and then try :)

    Code:
    preg_match('/if (!ereg("^[^@]{1,64}@[^@]{1,255}$", $email)) {/i', '', $result);
preg_match('/if (!ereg("^(([A-Za-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-][A-Za-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~\.-]{0,63})|(\"[^(\\|\")]{0,62}\"))$", $local_array[$i])) {/i', '', $result);
preg_match('/if (!ereg("^\[?[0-9\.]+\]?$", $email_array[1])) {/i', '', $result);
    or

    Code:
    preg_match('/if (!ereg("^[^@]{1,64}@[^@]{1,255}$", $email)) {/', '', $result);
preg_match('/if (!ereg("^(([A-Za-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-][A-Za-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~\.-]{0,63})|(\"[^(\\|\")]{0,62}\"))$", $local_array[$i])) {/', '', $result);
preg_match('/if (!ereg("^\[?[0-9\.]+\]?$", $email_array[1])) {/', '', $result);
    I must do some homework about developing :p Don't know nothing :)

    You may need to wait for experts to get a proper advice.

    Was able to find a solution by replacing ereg with mb_ereg which is direct replacement function and not deprecated in PHP 7.
