Hi Friends here at CI. I have an older program that I was working on that used php 4.1. Yes its outdated I know. lol I upgraded the program to php 5.3 but im now having an issue with this code.
I have read that ereg has now been deprecated in php, but does anyone now the replacement? or at a glance any one know what could fix this now broken code?
Code:
$path = $this->config->item('icons').$this->session->userdata('user_id');
$dir_handle = @opendir($path) or die("Unable to open folder");
while (false !== ($file = readdir($dir_handle))) {
if(ereg("(.*)\.(jpg|bmp|jpeg|png|gif)", $file)){
echo "<a href='/dashboard/selecticon/$file'><img src='$path/$file' alt='$file' width='100' height='100'></a> ";
}
}
closedir($dir_handle);Thanks a million in advance.

As the PHP manual suggests, replace ereg() by preg_match()
Code:
if(preg_match("/^(.*)\.(jpg|bmp|jpeg|png|gif)$/i", $file)){
