Help With Migrating From eregi()

Hello.

How do I migrate this line in PHP so it does the same results, but is suitable for the latest version of PHP:

$vbox7s = eregi('<div id="mainContainer" >(.*)</div>', $vbox7, $vbox7r);

PHP:

I consider myself pretty good with PHP, but I just suck at regular expression stuff. Currently, the above line issues a notice at the top of the page that the function is deprecated.

Regards!

 

Replace eregi with preg_match and add delimiters.

$vbox7s = preg_match('~<div id="mainContainer" >(.*)</div>~', $vbox7, $vbox7r);

PHP:

 

What is the purpose of adding the delimiter(tilt )???
