I am installing 2.3.1 on IIS 5.1 on an XP box.

I followed the manual install procedure.

On first time run I received the following errors:

Deprecated: Function ereg_replace() is deprecated in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\silverstripe\install.php on line 357

Line of code for above error: $c = ereg_replace('-.*$','',$c);
install.php file attached

Parse error: parse error in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\silverstripe\sapphire\dev\install\config-form.html on line 178

Line 178 is the final line of html code for this error
config-form.html file attached

What version of PHP are you running?

I thought this is deprecated in PHP 5.3 and above, which is not yet out?

Hi Sigurd,

Thanks for your reply.

Sorry it took so long to get back to the post.

Yes, I am running php 5.3.

I presume that, since you asked, Silverstripe will be a while putting out a version that deals with the pending deprecations beyond php version 5.9.2.

So....

Before I back up to 5.9.2, has anyone attempted a work around?

I am having this exact error with 5.2.9.

I would also love to know if anyone has come up with a workaround?

Added bug report to http://open.silverstripe.com/ticket/3973 :)

I checked the bug report and it says;

"I've disabled E_DEPRECATED as a quick fix, so lowering this item's priority."

This is not true. I disabled E_DEPRECATED as well but this has no effect. I still get the following error.

"PHP Deprecated: Function ereg_replace() is deprecated in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\sapphire\core\ManifestBuilder.php on line 257"

Not any fix yet? I am stuck.
