Why do you have to upgrade to 5.3? &nbsp;Most hosting companies never upgrade a server with user accounts on it so they Don't break their users code. &nbsp;With hosting companies, you have to change servers to get a newer version of PHP and most other things.<br />
<br />
Even if it were possible to 'alias' the ereg() function, a typical problem is that PHP 5.3 is simply pickier about many errors and users find that things that were ignored as warnings before now show up on the screen as errors. &nbsp;Is this a Linux or Windows server?

Hello, <br />
I have apache server with PHP 5.2 with many obsolete applications on it.<br />
We must upgrade to PHP 5.3 <br />
<br />
I know there is no more ereg() function with bunch of other functions.<br />
<br />
I need to create global alias for my function witch will simulate ereg() function<br />
Something like &nbsp;&quot;Facade pattern&quot; but global for all application.<br />
<br />
Is there some way to do it?<br />
Best Regards<br />

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.
