few errors with php 5.3 upgrade

[eluser]WanWizard[/eluser]
ereg() has been depricated in favor of preg_match(). In PHP5+, you should not assign objects by reference, this is by default (don't use the & operator). PHP 5.3 also requires a timezone to be set in php.ini.

This looks like 'old' PHP4 style code, so you'll have to update it.

The Smarty error is a disk access error, so check your rights.

As usual, before you upgrade your environment, be sure to read all related documentation. If you had done that, none if this would have been new to you, and you could have taken precautions.
