eregi() and eregi_replace() being deprecated as of PHP 5.3.0

Hello,
I implemented a webform using phpformmail a year or so ago and it worked fine...
 
Recently, I found that it had stopped working because my shared hosting provider had decided to enforce using SMTP with authentication.
 
I am in the process of modifying the original phpformmail to allow for STMP with authentication. I think I can figure that out on my own.
 
But while I was reviewing the phpformmail code, I noticed that there is a lot of use of eregi() and eregi_replace(). My understanding is that both are being deprecated as of PHP 5.3.0 and that they will be removed in PHP 6.x
 
Are you going to issue a new version of phpformmail using preg() and preg_replace() or do you have some tips on how we should do it ourselves.
 
TIA,
 
--Doug
