Hi Mickey!

No, there aren't any older versions that don't use preg() functions. It
would be *really hard* to rewrite preg() function calls to ereg() function
calls, about as hard as copying a dictionary with typewriter instead of a
photocopier.

Unfortunately I don't think we can help you here.. you need to upgrade
your version of PHP. I really don't want to say that, but we just cannot
support sites without preg().

Good luck,
Steve
