eregi_replace() is deprecated

Question

I have just created a simple word filter for users bios when they are updated. This is the code:

 for($i=0;$i < sizeof($badwords);$i++){
  srand((double)microtime()*1000000); 
  $rand_key = (rand()%sizeof($replacements));
  $str = eregi_replace($badwords[$i], $replacements[$rand_key], $str);
 }
 return $str;



}

When I submit the Bio, the text saves however I get this error:

Deprecated: Function eregi_replace() is deprecated in /home/u557520691/public_html/inc/Global.php on line 177

Does anybody know how to fix this issue?

I get another error: ''Delimiter must not be alphanumeric or backslash in...'' when I use preg. — Harry, Jul 27 '14 at 08:55
It sounds like a misuse of regular expressions. I bet `$badwords` are just static words. — Álvaro González, Jul 27 '14 at 09:52

try this

How to replace ereg?

or just turn the notice off

error_reporting(E_ERROR | E_WARNING | E_PARSE | E_NOTICE);

or

error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_DEPRECATED);
