set_magic_quotes_runtime() and ereg() deprication

I'm attempting to install Expression Engine onto my server (I'm not sure if you're familiar with it or not) and when I hit install I get a message saying:
Deprecated: Function set_magic_quotes_runtime() is deprecated in C:\webserver\webroot\install.php on line 21 Deprecated: Function ereg() is deprecated in C:\webserver\webroot\install.php on line 92

I figured these were functions that come standard with php and I wanted to know if there is some way around them. (Installation halts when I get this message).

Thanks,
~Jordan

Are you sure you're using the latest version of expression engine? If it's slightly outdated, it might be using those depreciated functions.

Not sure if this will work, but you might try turning off error reporting. Not sure if it will go past a depreciation warning or not.
