Deprecated function

[Mapantz]

I've just been testing a new hosting provider, and despite the PHP being the same version as my last, i'm getting a couple of errors

Code: Select all

     create_function('$matches', 'return strtoupper($matches[0]);'), $fixedtxt);
    $wxalltext[$i] = $fixedtxt;

PHP Deprecated: Function create_function() is deprecated

Any qualified people around? -

That's php 7.2 message ....

I was getting confused about what it did, until I realised it was part of a larger construct.

This is the part that's the problem:

create_function('$matches', 'return strtoupper($matches[0]);'), $fixedtxt);

See if this works or not:

Code: Select all

function('$matches'){ return strtoupper($matches[0]);} , $fixedtxt);
$wxalltext[$i] = $fixedtxt;

... although I'm in the dark with php7.x

Bingo!

Thanks beteljuice!

It would be helpful to see the code in context.

I've used a function to replace the deprecated 'e' modifier in preg_replace() function with a preg_replace_callback().

The original code was

Code: Select all

      $text = preg_replace('!\.\s+([a-z])!es',"'.  ' . strtoupper('\\1')",$text);

and due to the deprecated 'e' modifier had to be changed to

Code: Select all

      $text = preg_replace_callback('!\.\s+([a-z])!s',
	  function ($matches) { return('.  ' . strtoupper($matches[1]) ); }
	  ,$text);

It looks like your code snippet was attempting to do a similar thing.

Hope this helps...
