I am attempting to install FrontAccounting under XAMPP (version 1.7.2 - includes Apache 2.2.12, PHP 5.3.0 and MySQL 5.1.37) running on Windows XP SP3

Error message is:

Deprecated: Function eregi() is deprecated in C:\xampp\htdocs\frontaccounting\install\save.php on line 296

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at C:\xampp\htdocs\frontaccounting\install\save.php:296) in C:\xampp\htdocs\frontaccounting\install\save.php on line 86

A bit of googling leads me to think that it is something to do with the 'eregi' frunction being deprecated in the latest PHP version but I am afraid I have no idea what changes to make to the code to get round this.

Any ideas?

Thank you.
