After replacing eregi with preg_match I'm getting: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Unknown modifier ','

Question

I'm using PHP Timeclock and I've had to mod several pages due to outdated code. However, I'm stuck on this one:

preg_match Unknown modifier ',' in timeclock/admin/timeedit.php on line 274

preg_match ("/^([0-9]{1,2})-,/,.-,/,.$/i", $post_date, $date_regs))

This page was unchanged from the source. Any Ideas?

just a note that this page was updated due to **eregi** being not supported. It's possible that 'eregi' simply got replaced with 'preg_match'. — sukebe7, Jan 08 '14 at 04:44

Try changing your Perl delimiters from / to something else.

got it with preg_match ("^([0-9]{1,2})[-,/,.]([0-9]{1,2})[-,/,.](([0-9]{2})|([0-9]{4}))$^"
