Hi Guys

I am a newbie.

I am running Drupal using Mowes portable.

When I installed Drupal, everything seemed to work except it is giving me an error

# : Function ereg() is deprecated in C:\Program Files\Drupal\www\drupal\includes\file.inc on line 895.

I get a whole bunch of them. I have reinstalled many times with the same result.

I can do most things but I can get to my reports and run status and am unable to run cron.

please help

As of PHP 5.3.0, IIRC, ereg extension is deprecated (changelog). Seems like somebody updated your PHP version :)

It must be notice though, not error.

Open includes/file.inc and change ereg to preg_match.

Thanks for your help but it just gave me a new error

warning: preg_match(): Delimiter must not be alphanumeric or backslash in C:\Program Files\Drupal\www\drupal\includes\file.inc on line 895.

I'm also having this problem. Can anyone tell me how to update the file_scan_directory function?

Go to line 895 and change to:

elseif ($depth >= $min_depth && preg_match("/$mask/", $file)) {
