eregi replace replacement

Question

since eregi replace was deprecated on version 5.3 i want to make my program compatible with new version of php http://php.net/manual/en/function.eregi-replace.php

so, i'm trying to use preg_replace like this

preg_replace(",",'','20,000.00');

but come with error

i'm familiar with eregi_replace(',','','20,000.00'); i'm not familiar with regex expression. what is the best replacement for eregi_replace?

Answer 1

preg_replace needs delimiters

$value = '20,000.00';    
$value = preg_replace("/,/",'',$value);    
echo $value;
