error: Warning: REG_EMPTY, please help

max_rk

Please look at this code.

It is very simple and was working fine until this morning, but for some reason now its producing error: Warning: REG_EMPTY in ....

$darr = file('file.txt');
$num = count($darr);
for ($i=0; $i < $num; $i++) {
$c_row = trim($darr[$i]);
$line_arr = explode('|',$c_row);
if (eregi( $line_arr[0], $call)) {

....

any suggestions how to fix it?

Thanks

is ur file empty? that could cause it probly

FrozNic,

File definitely not empty. I looked at the file and even changed records. Everything is fine with the file.

Any suggestions?

FrozNic

the function eregi's syntax is:
eregi(string pattern, string string [, array regs])

which to say...
eregi ((the characters you're searching for),(the string to search through),(the array to call your return(s)))

you're writing the function wrong it looks like
php.net/eregi

[array regs] is optional. It was working for year just fine without it

Although this function produces an error but does work. Perhaps PHP was updated on the server. I can think any other reason.

Suggestions anyone?

Yes,
any value of $call or $line_arr[0] are empty (may be a blank line at the end of file or for made one time too much...)

Try to clear error with '@' :
if (@eregi( $line_arr[0], $call)) {

Thank you bad76!

It works now.
