The "regex extension" being referred to is the POSIX regex extension which is deprecated as of PHP 5.3.0, but any earlier versions should work for you. The extension is home to functions such as ereg, eregi, split and sql_regcase.

Can you call eregi in a basic script and get the desired results? For example, does the following script simply echo 3?
PHP Code:
<?php

echo ereg('php''elephpant'$match);

?>
Also, does $var contain the same value(s) when ran on both PHP versions?
