I upgraded from 1.5.2 to 1.7.3 for my site after my hosting provider upgraded to PHP 5.3.

I followed the instructions in the EE user guide on updating.  I’m still getting this error at the top of all my template pages

Deprecated: Function ereg() is deprecated in /.../.././.etc../html/index.php on line 120

the only code I have on my test template is:

{exp:weblog:entries category="38"  limit="1" }

<h3><a href="http://{url_title_path=news/article}">{title}</a> </h3>

<p>{/exp:weblog:entries}

The error does not appear in the cpanel

UPDATE:

I’m also getting this error when trying to make a post with the SAEF

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /////html/index.php:120) in /////html/system/core/core.functions.php on line 334

Please help.

Thanks.

I checked my .htaccess file and it says

AddHandler php4-script .php

Should I change this?  When I remove that line of code completely, I still get the erg error.

Could plugins, extensions or modules be the issue?

Hi Ryan,

If you’ve fully updated to EE 1.7.3 and your host is on PHP 5.3, you shouldn’t be getting that error. Did you make sure to update your main index.php file as well?

Could you check with your host to see if you account is fully set up to use PHP 5.3? I don’t believe that line in your .htaccess file should actually be there.

Hi Kevin,

The problem is now fixed - thanks.  I uploaded the new index.php template from 1.7.3 It didn’t say to do that in the upgrade instructions so I didn’t think I had to.

Glad you were able to get it resolved, Ryan!

Have a good one.
