Re: [BLUG] PHP ereg() question

Yeah, I learned RegExp's in perl, so whenever they aren't like perl, I
get confused. I don't use PHP all that often, but when I do, I prefer
the preg-style anyway. I don't know if I've ever use the ereg style.
Having said that, I don't know why they'd have to remove it and
require a bunch of people to have to go update existing
code... harmless enough to leave them in, isn't it?
