Hi internals (again),

Recently I’ve done a small assessment on how feasible it is to remove ext/ereg from the project for the next major version. This is the result (so far):

https://github.com/datibbaw/php-src/compare/kill-ereg

I’ve replaced two instances of ereg with their pcre equivalents, OPcache and PGSQL.

Btw, simply using ‘pcreposix.h’ didn’t work out for OPcache, I would get this error:

Error Blacklist compilation: invalid argument to regex routine

Perhaps I’ve missed something obvious, but porting it wasn’t hard either.

Thoughts?
