Looks like the host has updated PHP version. In this version, these "commands" are no longer valid, so all need to be replaced.

 

How it was:

function tep_sanitize_string($string) {
$string = ereg_replace(' +', ' ', trim($string));
return preg_replace("/[<>]/", '_', $string);
}

 

How it needs to be:

function tep_sanitize_string($string) {
$patterns = array ('/ +/','/[<>]/');
$replace = array (' ', '_');
return preg_replace($patterns, $replace, trim($string));
}

 

If you search the addons area, you will find a addon that does some changes to these types of errors. I forget exactly what it is called.

 

this is 1 example only, there will be many such things to mend to get your site properly working.
