Problems since upgrading to php v5.3.0 - PHP ereg_replace

[MacOfTheEast]

Dave,

Sorry to have to report this but since upgrading to php v5.3.0 from v5.2.11 phpMySQLAutoBackup no longer works. From apache2's error log:

I've tried a few versions of phpMySQLAutoBackup including the very latest.

Appreciate you having a look at it.

P.S. Also troubles with phpAutoMembersArea which I'll report in the appropriate forum.

Thank you,
B. Bodger

Hi, Many thanks for taking the time to post the issue

Deprecation! Dont you just love it! NO THANK YOU
For those that dont know what this means - the error message means the integrated PHP function "ereg_replace" is nolonger supported and has been removed:
http://php.net/manual/en/function.ereg-replace.php

I will have a look today and issue an update.

Cheers

Dave

Patch below - replace the existing file:
\phpmysqlautobackup\files\schema_for_export.php

PLEASE ensure you test this by exporting a backup and importing to a test database to confirm it is working correctly.

Should be fine, however, if you have any issues please let me know.

Code: Select all
