The simplest way to stop these messages is to replace in global.php:
error_reporting(E_ERROR | E_WARNING | E_PARSE);with:
error_reporting(E_ERROR | E_WARNING | E_PARSE ^ E_DEPRECATED);
@Rembrandt:
the only difference between ereg and preg_match is that ereg doesn't use delimiters. Therefore when converted to preg_match the only difference would be the added delimiters at the beginning and end of the REGEX string.
so a string
"(.+)\.(.+)" would become:
"/(.+)\.(.+)/" and NOT
"/([^\.]+)\.?([^\.]+)/" P.S.
there are much more then these 3 changes required...better wait for the v1.7.8...
