Deprecated: Function ereg_replace() is deprecated

Question

Deprecated: Function ereg_replace() is deprecated in /home/hjlhvqyy/public_html/fastseoindia/klib/k_functions_text.php on line 114

The code is below:

$value = ereg_replace("[ ]{2,}"," ",$value); // line 114

Please, help me and give me a real code. I can't understand the full code, that's why I post my own question to get direct answer, because I can't make my own code to see the examples.

So, help me...

You need to use preg_replace because ereg_replace isn't supported anymore.

I think it's

$value = preg_replace('/\s/' , ' ' , $value);

The function ereg_replace() is deprecated, that means that it is no longer supported by PHP by a particular reason (can be security or performance reasons, for example).

Instead, use preg_replace(). You also need to replace the regular expression string

[ ]{2,}

to

/[ ]{2,}/
