At previous post about install drupal in localhost using wamp I got this message :
Deprecated: Function ereg() is deprecated in C:\wamp\www\drupal\includes\file.inc on line 902
That message appear because I use latest wamp software that utilize php 5.3.0 where ereg() function is deprecated.
Quick solution for this case are :
1. Downgrade wamp to previous version
or
2. Edit php source file of drupal.
I prefer to choose second solution since I love to learn new thing 
I have tried a few php function like preg_replace() and mb_ereg()
After test each function I think mb_ereg() is good solution.
Back to the problem I open file :
file.inc
C:\wamp\www\drupal\includes\file.inc
scroll to line 902.
change ereg in line to mb_ereg to make the line transform into :
elseif ($depth >= $min_depth && mb_ereg($mask, $file)) {
Save the file and retry open http://batikweb.com
This time I got this :
Nice, I can continue to installation steps
Stay health!

Exactly what I need!
Hi man,
Thanks a lot for this solution. Great Job!
But I have a question:
Is the php function (ereg) equivalent to (mb_ereg) ? I mean does it do the same functionality for the include “file” in drupal, or it might result in a code weakness in future use of the function? Sorry, but I was not sure why it wasn’t amended by drupal core upon php 5.3 version! that what confused me not your fix
Keep it up..
You can refer to manual, IMHO the code don’t show code weakness for future.
Ok, I amended it & works perfectly !! thanks again
Thanks
