[EHPweb] PHP 5.3.x

[Eric M Martinez]

All,

PHP version on EHPDevel has been updated to 5.3.1.  As of 5.3.0 the  
"split()" function in PHP was deprecated in favor of either  
"explode()" or "preg_split()" as appropriate.  You may have seen many  
warnings on web pages when browsing the site on EHPDevel recently  
letting you know about this. If you see this please fix the page be  
replacing the deprecated function calls with the new ones as  
appropriate.

Note that while "split" could accept either regex or plain text in  
simple quotes, the preg_split function only accepts regex and now  
requires the regex be properly delimited.  For example:

Old style:

	$array = split("[\r\n]", $string);

New Style:

	$array = preg_split("/[\r\n]/", $string);

Note the addition of the slash (/) characters to delimit the regular  
expression.  This function is deprecated as of 5.3.0 and will be  
removed in 6.0.0 so moving forward we should be sure to use the proper  
function calls.  For now EHPMaster remains at PHP 5.2.9.

FYI,
	~Eric.
