Deprecated: Function ereg() is deprecated - [Fixed in 3.2.3]

[SoundHunter]

Hi all,

I got after a upgrade from jDownloads version 1.9.10 on Joomla 3.2 to jDownloads 3.2 the following errors (only on pages with sound files):
Deprecated: Function ereg() is deprecated in /components/com_jdownloads/helpers/jdownloadshelper.php on line 906
and
Deprecated: Function ereg() is deprecated in /components/com_jdownloads/helpers/jdownloadshelper.php on line 922
on PHP 5.3.2.

This is due changes in PHP 5.3.

Here is what I did to fix it for my installation of jDownloads:

In /components/com_jdownloads/helpers/jdownloadshelper.php change line 906 from:

Code Select Expand

                   while(ereg("^[A-Z][A-Z0-9]{3}$",$frameName=fread($fp,4))){
to:

Code Select Expand

                   while(preg_match("/^[A-Z][A-Z0-9]{3}$/",$frameName=fread($fp,4))){

In /components/com_jdownloads/helpers/jdownloadshelper.php change line 922 from:

Code Select Expand

                           if(!ereg("^T",$frameName)){// = not a text frame, they always starts with 'T'
to:

Code Select Expand

                           if(!preg_match("/^T/",$frameName)){// = not a text frame, they always starts with 'T'

Maybe this can be fixed in a next release?

Regards,
