Warning: Function ereg_replace() is deprecated in ..../counter/counter.php on line 6

Hi all,

just went over from php 5.3 to 5.4 and got this error on top of the page:

Warning: Function ereg_replace() is deprecated in ..../counter/counter.php on line 6

also my sidebar is positioned down and not right beside the forums is this error connected with the sidebar or some mod?

What version of vbulletin are you running?

[Jheroen]

vb 4.2.2 pl4

Probably the best thing to do would be to upgrade to vb4.2.3, which is a technically a beta version but it's being used by many forums now.

If you don't want to upgrade you could try adding this line to your config.php:

define('SKIP_ALL_ERRORS', true);

No, don't use that.


You should use:

PHP Code:

define('SKIP_DS_ERRORS', true); 


This turns off the extra error reporting in php 5.3 & 5.4 (for strict & deprecated warnings), but will allow other important errors to show.



Open your includes/config.php file and below <?php add the following.

PHP Code:

define('SKIP_DS_ERRORS', true); 


So it looks like this:

PHP Code:

<?php
define('SKIP_DS_ERRORS', true);

Use a editor like notepad++ to edit any files, don't use Notepad or Wordpad.

Could the above also work for the sidebar that has gone down right under the forums instead of right beside the forums?

Possible, but not necessarily. It could be a mod or template conflict.
