Well, ereg_ does not include ereg. ;) Replacing ereg() is another  
task, but IMHO it makes sense to tackle those 159 places in the same  
patch.

There are some places where a simple str_replace could be used as  
well, like when replacing "=" against nothing.

I would say "[:alnum:]" should be replaced by "A-Za-z0-9" as that is  
what it is. There are quite some places where "[:alnum:]_" is used  
currently, so we should replace things with the exact equivalent.

See also the (freshly created) issue #10226 [1] for a related problem.

Regards,
Karsten
