But I'm willing to bet that the majority of people are using ereg, not
PCRE. I've known about PCRE in PHP for a while now, but I continue to
use ereg because I thought it had better support in PHP and that it was
the more "official" function. Guess I was wrong. I'm sure I'm not the
only one who thought this.
Maybe try to substantiate that argument with a google code search or
something. Personally I have seen quite the opposite, then again I have
been actively encouraging people to use preg since about 5 or more years
now.
Code Search of: "eregi?(_replace)?\( lang:php" shows ~123,000 results
Code Search of:
"preg_(filter|grep|last_error|match_all|match|quote|replace_callback|replace|split)\(
lang:php" shows ~374,000 results
Looks like preg_* functions are used more often than ereg* functions to
me...
Cheers!,
