in the php.ini there are 2 lines related to error reporting:


;error_reporting = E_ALL | E_STRICT
error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_STRICT

which one should be commented out? by default first is commented but when I comment second one and uncomment first line , still will get the same error! :'(

What if you try
Code:
error_reporting = E_ALL
display_errors = Off

Or try viewtopic.php?p=2492426#p2492426

Many thanks to OOmNezar for the help and providing useful comments and links.
what I did is the following to remove the Error:

1-completely uninstall XAMP
2-install WAMP 2.0
3-find and modify php.ini and modification is:

error_reporting = E_ALL
display_errors = Off

Error is gone and site and its module are working fine.

Cheers (Amir)

I had this issue too.

I did not see any change after altering:

error_reporting = E_ALL
display_errors = Off

Closed my browser, and stopped and started Apache in Xamp en error messages were gone.

You don't have to uninstall XAMPP and install WAMP to fix this! that just create a mess.

You have to adjust the "error_reporting" setting in your php.ini to get Joomla working.

- Open your php.ini
- search for
Code:
error_reporting = E_ALL | E_STRICT

- change to
Code:
error_reporting = E_ALL

- save the file
- STOP and restart Apache (A MUST)

I rather edit the php file than changing the Joomla backend error report because then you have to do that to all of your local sites. It's easier editing one file.

i have solved that problem with the help of joomla forum, all you need is to go your Joomla main page, where you'll find Global Cofiguration, open it... >> click on Server Tab... >>in the Error Reporting.. put Maximum in it and just refresh your page, the Strict Standars will go away :) hope this would work for you!!

Thank you everyone, especially Brave Ali and MahmoudKalif, for your comments and suggestions. I modified the php.ini as suggested and also changed the ERROR REPORTING on Global Configuration / SERVER / Error Reporting to MAXIMUM. The error message was resolved. Thank you again.

This is the correct value for
error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_STRICT & ~E_DEPRECATED

I don't why people are saying to use E_ALL. This will display all errors.
Including strict errors which joomla shows on Xampp
You can also use E_ALL & ~E_STRICT which will show all errors except strict ones.
I tried to change it to E_ALL and nothing happened. Then I just decided to read the instructions in the php.ini and its so clear there.

Does anyone know how to resolve these errors, not just changing the error reporting to hide them? I've been searching Google and the only information I can find are suggestions to change php.ini. Yes, this is a temp fix to get ride of the error on my site, however, I am an extension developer and I'd like to know what went wonky with my code (in regards to php5.4>)

Anyone?

Thanks in advance!

@quan, what is the difference between what you said and the solution about what @BraveAli has given? Because I use the one BraveAli gave and it worked - this is very easy. My question is, does it mean there might be a place where the error might occur i wouldnt know. Please explain.

Had same problems with Joomla 2.5 - after installing an extension, the error started to appear. I found my answer at stackoverflow (by Ozair Kafray):

Quote:
You should remove the & (ampersand) symbol, so that line 4 will look like this:

$conn = ADONewConnection($config['db_type']);

From php's manual on assignment by reference:

Quote:
As of PHP 5, the new operator returns a reference automatically, so assigning the result of new by reference results in an E_DEPRECATED message in PHP 5.3 and later, and an E_STRICT message in earlier versions.


In this context, line 4 is reffering to a line inside files at which your errors are pointing.

So if the problem persists after changes in php.ini and in global options this means the module scripts are bugged at the listed lines because of the ampersand, is that correct?

if there is an error in a php file , I think it should be solved not just hide them!
i have done so and when i turned on the error reporting there was tons of error! this is not a good way. do you hide your symptoms when you are sick?

Ok guys, since I see you are suffering, I'm going to give you a hand. I will give you a few fixes in order to get these issues out of the way.

First Fix:
DO NOT ALTER THE FOLLOWING LINES
Document Name: php.ini
Line #

line 535
Code:
 error_reporting = E_ALL | E_STRICT

line 552
Code:
 display_errors = On


YOU DO NEED TO MODIFY THE FOLLOWING LINES AND DOCUMENTS
Second Fix:
Document Name: default.php

line 25
From
Code:
$pageclass = & $app->getParams('com_content');

To
Code:
$pageclass =  $app->getParams('com_content');



line 283
From
Code:
$conf = & JFactory::getConfig();

To
Code:
$conf = JFactory::getConfig();



line 284
From
Code:
$sitename = $conf->getValue('config.sitename');

To
Code:
$sitename = $conf->get('config.sitename');


line 293
From
Code:
 $ice_session = & JFactory::getSession();

To
Code:
 $ice_session =  JFactory::getSession();


Third Fix
Document Name: css_vars.php

line 10
From
Code:
$doc = & JFactory::getDocument();

To
Code:
$doc = JFactory::getDocument();


These fixes resolve the issues NOT just hide them, like the posts before mine suggested. Like my comment so others can see it, subscribe/follow me.
