My client switched hosts, and now Silverstripe is throwing an error on every page:

mb_ereg_replace() [function.mb-ereg-replace]: mbregex compile err: unmatched close parenthesis
GET /?flush=1

Line 494 in sapphire/core/SSViewer.php

Surely this has something to do with the mbregex module configuration? I've seen very little written about this. I've tried changing the mbstring.func_overload to a number of different values. Nothing seems to work. Very frustrating!

Based on some info over in the all pages display blank? topic, it's an issue with OpenHost's PHP configuration.

You'll need to set mbstring.func_overload to 0 in php.ini.

Thanks,

I've tried the ini_set and .htaccess options but no joy, so I'm waiting for them to complete a ticket re: https://support.webhost.co.nz/index.php?group=openhost&_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=380

I've set the mbstring.overload every which way, and although it quiets the error sometimes, it still shows up intermittently.

Eek, that's not good. Is this on a variety of hosts, or one host in particular? Is the error always thrown on the same piece of code?
