php 5.3 ereg_replace to preg_replace

Question

$this->Settings = array( "host" => $host , "user" => $user , "pass" => $pass );
    $this->db = $db;
    $this->Settings["name"] = ereg_replace  ("_", "", $this->db);
    $this->init();

I have an application that can't work after migrating to php 5.3 from php 5.2.

Even after i changed the ereg_replace line above to

$this->aSettings["name"] = preg_replace("/_/", "", $this->db);

It still doesn't get the settings from the db.

If the problem is that the value is not retrieved from the database then the problem is in your `$db` variable. Try to inspect its value: `var_dump($db)` — pankar, Oct 11 '12 at 08:02

There's no particular reason why your preg_replace() wouldn't work, but you could simply use str_replace() instead.

$this->Settings['Name'] = str_replace('_', '', $this->db);

This statement interests me though:

$this->db = $db;

Where is $db set? Follow that trail until you find where the real issue is,

thanks. yeah.. that's not the issue. it is hard to trace as there are no errors even when error reporting is set to all. – Potential Coder Oct 11 '12 at 11:22
@PotentialCoder You need to share more of your code then, otherwise it's impossible to help you. – Ja͢ck Oct 06 '14 at 11:25
