ERROR: Deprecated: Function eregi() is deprecated in and Notice: Undef

[Scotty13]

My profile page is giving me the following errors.

Deprecated: Function eregi() is deprecated in /home/******/public_html/root/res.php on line 185

Notice: Undefined index: device in /home/******/public_html/root/res.php on line 247

LINES 185 & 247 are marked below. Using PHP 5.3.x

On line 185, I've tried preg and preg_match. They both gave me errors.

I appreciate any help and please don't answer with to complicated replies. I'm only a rookie and as you can see this is all I could achieve.

Thanks, Scott

"This function has been DEPRECATED as of PHP 5.3.0. Relying on this feature is highly discouraged." - From php.com site.

A good alternative is the use of preg_match. (as I see you used earlier in your code ;) eregi() ignores case. preg_match can too by using the "/" modifier.
Change

LINE 185: if (preg_match("/".$Match."/", $agent)) {

Then for your line 247 error. you're not calling the correct variable.

$sql_annos = mysql_query("SELECT id, tkt_id, the_anno, anno_date, anno_type, anno_device....

//change
LINE 247: $anno_device = $row["anno_device"];

Hope this get's you going again. :)

No errors! Thank you so much.

Spoke too soon. It works perfect in IE broser. When I test in Chrome, Safari and Firefox I get the following error...

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/******/public_html/root/wi_class_files/autoMakeLinks.php:15) in /home/myglobal/public_html/root/res.php on line 45

// ------- ESTABLISH THE PAGE ID ACCORDING TO CONDITIONS ---------
if (isset($_GET['id'])) {
$id = preg_replace('#[^0-9]#i', '', $_GET['id']); // filter everything but numbers
} else if (isset($_SESSION['idx'])) {
$id = $ckinOptions_id;
} else {
Line 45: header("location: index.php");
exit();
}
// ------- END ESTABLISH THE PAGE ID ACCORDING TO CONDITIONS ---------

[cffrost2]

That warning pertains to 2 or more sources trying to work within the headers. Like there is an echo statment happening before the header call. Or another header call taking place before the one on line 45. Check both the res.php file and the autoMakeLinks.php file for conditions like that. May need to post more code to help further diagnose.

Could also be that your opening <?php tag has a white space before it or the closing ?> tag has a white space after it. Say on you res.php file, line #1 should be <?php. Sometimes, line 1 will be blank and <?php is actually on line 2. Same in your autoMakeLink.php file.

In other words, think about it like this. Headers can only be modified (header('location: index.php')) if nothing else has been posted/echoed to the browser already. This includes small things like white spaces. Be sure to scan the code and look for any potential code block making an echo/print or another header being sent before the one on line 45. Hope that's not too confusing. I tried to simplify it a bit.

header("location: index.php");

Two other problems with that single line of code:
- the location should include protocol and domain name,
- never redirect to a named index page.

The correct canonical URL is http//www.example.com/ with a trailing slash.

Additionally, it's a 302 redirect. Is that what you want?

[Scotty13]

In my autoMakeLinks.php I changed ereg_replace to preg_replace.

And, on the top of my profile page. added...

ob_start();
session_start();

[Scotty13]

No errors! Hope it stays that way.

Thanks, Scott
