changing the deprecated ereg() function to preg_match()

[XPERTPCNET]

When adding a Webhook, no field items are displaying after selecting actions or filters .

The following error is logged:

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function ereg() in /path/wp-content/plugins/hookpress/services.php:13

This was this fix:
// changing the deprecated ereg() function to preg_match()
from: if (ereg('[A-Z]+',$arg))
to: if (preg_match('/[A-Z]+/',$arg))

Is there this line to change ?

Hello @mitcho , do you think you will merge the PR for PSR compatibility? If not, we will have to consider to fork the project. What do you think @oltodo and @XPERTPCNET ?

I would like to know as well. For php7 not only ereg() is deprecated, also split().
I forked the project and wanted to PR as well.

[michaelperrin]

@Willemdumee Maybe you should open an other PR with your additional changes. If @mitcho doesn't merge it, your repository could become the "official" fork, but unfortunately installing the plugin with WP CLI would install the non-forked version...

@mitcho any chance of this merging? The plugin is broken on PHP 7.

From: if (ereg('Opera(https://cdn.freshdesignweb.com/| )([0-9].[0-9]{1,2})', $HTTP_USER_AGENT, $log_version))

To: if (preg_match('/Opera(https://cdn.freshdesignweb.com/| )([0-9].[0-9]{1,2})/', $HTTP_USER_AGENT, $log_version))
I changed like this but error happend, what is solution?
