Is this regex right (eregi to preg_match conversion)

Question

I am replacing PHP deprecated functions in my website. I have this code:

(eregi("<[^>]*object.*\"?[^>]*>", $secvalue))

It is written on the php.net site that it eregi should be replaced with preg_match with i modifier.

Is this coded right?

(preg_match("<[^>]*object.*\"?[^>]*/i>", $secvalue))

or should I place /i somewhere else?

Answer 1

You need to add a forward slash at the beginning to match the closing one:

 preg_match('/<[^>]object."?[^>]*>/i', $secvalue);

Answer 2

preg_match('/<[^>]*object.*\"?[^>]*>/i', $secvalue)
