Wonder what this could be due to:

I am using this on debian sarge, standard install.

Fatal Error: eregi(): REG_BADRPT (# 256).

Error in line 47 of file '/var/www/radicore/includes/dml.mysql.class.inc'.

Script: /radicore/menu/logon.php

Remote Address: 192.168.43.1

Request URI: /radicore/menu/logon.php

Page Stack:

Thanks
Hari

Strange. That code works without problem on both of my local PC's as well as my hosted server. The code in question is actually on line 125 and should look as follows:

if (!empty($dbprefix)) {
    if (!eregi('^(' .$dbprefix .')', $dbname)) {
        // prefix may be different on different servers
        $dbname = $dbprefix .$dbname;
    } // if
} // if

Either you have a corrupt version of file dml.mysql.class.inc or you have something wrong with your PHP installation.

BTW, what value are you passing in for $dbprefix (from your config.inc file)?

The error REG_BADRPT actually means "Invalid use of repetition operators such as using '*' as the first character."

This sounds suspiciously like you left the following line in your config.inc file:
