The error occurs when you install Drupal: function ereg () is deprecated in \includes\file.inc

This error stems from the fact that in php 5.3.0 the function ereg () deprecated.

There are two quick solution to this problem:

1. Go to an earlier version of PHP (this can be done through the hosting control panel, or writing a letter asking to move to a more earlier version of PHP allows a service to your hosting company)

2. Edit the source file in Drupal. To do this, open the file in the editor /includes/file.inc and find there the following line

<?php
elseif ($depth >= $min_depth && ereg($mask, $file)) {
?>

And replace it with the following:

<?php
elseif ($depth >= $min_depth && mb_ereg($mask, $file)) {
?>
