ereg was not the main problem we cam across it was the removal of the
split function which was being used in loads of places for internally
passing csv strings about the place then splitting to an array for
processing. A real strange one to get depracated!<br>

where:-
function error_alert($msg){global $flag; $flag = 1; echo

Thats from a page where the form, validation and sending are done as
three
invocations via a switch, case, do something and break method. a -1
history
kickback works.
The eregi bit should be fairly PHP version unspecific though.
