Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.eregi#refsect1-function.eregi-notes
---

Page says eregi() is deprecated and to use preg_match() with PCRE_CASELESS modifier. However, elsewhere in the documentation, the PCRE_CASELESS is also described as deprecated. So, I still don't know what I should use to replace eregi().

where did you read this?
from http://www.php.net/reference.pcre.pattern.modifiers the only
deprecated modifier is PREG_REPLACE_EVAL, for security reason.

You are correct. I thought it applied to the entire section. Sorry for wasting your time.
