Strange & sudden recurring errors

[shadez2270]

My cart had been up and running for a couple of weeks... and today all of a sudden I am getting strange error notices... like this one when I click on a link

Call to undefined function: preg_match() in /home/scroll/public_html/cart/includes/application_top.php on line 73

or this one when signing in or naviagting in admin area

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: preg_match() in /home/scroll/public_html/cart/admin/includes/application_top.php on line 109

Sometimes I can click on a link and everything is fine... other times I get the error, perhaps 7 times out of 10 refreshing the page does the trick, but it is still not right

I made NO changes today, and don't have a clue what to even look at to resolve the issue... I did compare those two files on the serevr with the local copies, but could find no differences...

any help would be greatly appreciated

I think I figured out what the problem was... it turns out my partner was playing with image sizes this afternoon and we are using ih2...

I looked at the line of code the error referred to and it seemed to be referring to extra configures... which led me to ih... I tried clearing the image cache from the admin area, the problem persisted... I logged in using c-panel and deleted all the images in the bmz_cache folder (which were all still there after clearing with admin control) and the problems seem to have stopped.

No more errors and I can naviagte again through both the cart and the admin area....

It may have been a glitch on the server I don't know for sure... but I can say for now at least problem solved
