I also am getting the "Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Delimiter must not be alphanumeric or backslash in /home/content/30/9546330/html/wp-content/themes/wpzoom/send.php on line 43" error.

How do I resolve this issue so that the "contact" function works properly?

I replaced it and got the following error.

Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Delimiter must not be alphanumeric or backslash in /home/content/30/9546330/html/wp-content/themes/wpzoom/send.php on line 43

Hi there,

You can just do a basic search and replace for the deprecated function. Simply locate all 3 instances of eregi on line 43 of send.php and replace it with preg_match.

Should work just the same. Example...

if((preg_match($suspect, $lowmsg)) || (preg_match($suspect, strtolower($_POST['name']))) || (preg_match($suspect, strtolower($_POST['email']))))

Thanks!

Chris

in the "send.php" file the following code is giving me an error.

if((eregi($suspect, $lowmsg)) || (eregi($suspect, strtolower($_POST['name']))) || (eregi($suspect, strtolower($_POST['email']))))

I am no expert in php but what little research i have done says that in php 5.3, this function no longer works and to use "preg_match()" instead. What would be the correct way to implement this if is truly the case.

My error happens here (http://andrewmarcinko.com/contact/). Once the user hits the "send message" button it throws an error on the "send.php" page.

Any help would be great. Thanks!!
