Your use of eregi is the error. TEXT: Function eregi() is deprecated Try preg_match instead.

any other way to get through this issue pls because i have so many fuctions

You can suppress the E_DEPRECATED notice by using an appropriate error_reporting level, for example by calling error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_DEPRECATED) before any notices are generated (like at the very top of your script). That however is just ignoring the problem. To fix it, you should really be replacing any calls to POSIX functions (ereg*, etc.) with PCRE functions (preg*) as the latter are supported and aren't deprecated.

if (preg_match('/^[a-zA-Z-]*$/',$value))
