How to solve the use of deprecated function ereg() of PHP 5.3.0 in Drupal 6.13

Question

Anyone knows how to solve the error below?

Deprecated: Function ereg() is deprecated in C:\\wamp\\www\\includes\\file.inc on line 895

Answer 1

Looks like the problem is with PHP 5.3.0. You could try downgrading to 5.2.9 as suggested by this drupal link: http://drupal.org/node/514334

Answer 2

You can edit you common.inc file to quietly disregard the deprecated error flags. See my post: http://funkinetics.org/klink/function-ereg-is-deprecated-error-in-drupal-6x-with-php-53/
