Reported By: jay at phpcourses dot ca
Status: Bogus
Bug Type: Feature/Change Request
Operating System: all
PHP Version: 5.3.0
New Comment:
It won't be available in php6 because ereg does not work with Unicode.
Simple. Has PHP6 been released yet? or is it getting anywhere close to
be released? No and no.
And php 5.x still has many years to live, given that you had already
almost a decade to be ready and that you get 5 more years or so using
error_reporting.... EOD.

you first
This function has been DEPRECATED as of PHP 5.3.0 and REMOVED as of PHP
6.0.0. Relying on this feature is highly discouraged.

Can you please do your homework prior to post to php.net's bug
reports?
Using PHP 5.3.0/svn:
> php -r "error_reporting(E_ALL); ereg('POSIX');"
Deprecated: Function ereg() is deprecated in Command line code on line
1
> php -r "error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_DEPRECATED); ereg('POSIX',
'foo');"

nobody answered the original query
WHY stop supporting parts of the api all of a sudden?
it does NO harm leaving it in, as in ZERO
it DOES harm taking it out

i can't
see, "marked for deprecation" is different than "will no longer be
supported in 5.3"
i'm helping php avoid big mistakes

Jay, disable E_DEPRECATED and be happy. Now go back to your usual
activities, thanks.
