preg_match error

Posted: Mon Dec 05, 2011 8:36 pm

I don't know PHP, but am trying to fix errors that crop up after updating to PHP5.3:

Getting this error

Quote:

Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: No ending delimiter '^' found in /home/mememe/public_html/stats/includes/class_session.php on line 223

Line 222-223:

Code:

Line 222: function is_sid($sid) {


Line 223: return preg_match('^[a-f0-9]{32}$', strtolower($sid));

help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Wow, updating to PHP5.3 totally messed up Psychostats. Took me hours to fix it so it showed no errors. Thankfully, there are guys like you who post fixes for these errors.No errors showing, but total time online shows "Array", instead of the time. I guess I should try to learn PHP again.

Last time I checked, only around 7% of shared hosting providers were using PHP 5.3 so it's nice to see someone blazing a trail. Personally, I'm really looking forward to 5.3 as I use some software locally that won't run on my main server.

I'm just catching up...
Here is my error thrown by a coppermine block:

[28-Jan-2013 09:00:17 America/Los_Angeles] PHP Deprecated: Function eregi() is deprecated in /home/*****/public_html/blocks/block-Gallery_center-Last_pictures_thumb.php on line 25
if (eregi("block-CPG", $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) {
Header("Location: index.php");
die();
}
I tried this, but no luck.

if (preg_match("block-CPG", $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) {
Header("Location: index.php");
die();

Ideas? Thank you.

Just replace with

if ( !defined('BLOCK_FILE') ) {
Header('Location: ../index.php');
die();
}
