Hello I am getting this error

Deprecated: Function eregi() is deprecated in /home/u578804202/public_html/includes/functions.php on line 4

Here is my code:

if(eregi($file,$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'])) {
    die("Sorry but you cannot access this file directly for security reasons.");
}

Answer 1

As you should, it's an old function that is deprecated, user stristr() instead

if(stristr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],$file)) {
    die("Sorry but you cannot access this file directly for security reasons.");
}

Answer 2

You should use preg_match instead:

if (!preg_match("~{$file}~i,", $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'])) {
    die("Sorry but you cannot access this file directly for security reasons.");
}
