error "Strict Standards:..............." in 1.6

[Jadu]

Hi,,
Every time i install and use a extension I am getting this error

""Strict Standards: Only variables should be assigned by reference in.......""


For a example when i enable "simpleImageGallery" extension i am getting this error,,

""Strict Standards: Only variables should be assigned by reference in C:\xampp\htdocs\Joomla\plugins\content\jw_simpleImageGallery\jw_simpleImageGallery.php on line 31"


Can anyone tell me why this is happening and how can i get rid of this..


Thank You!

Review of the following documents could be of help.

In the php.ini file
locate
error_reporting =
And change the value to
error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_DEPRECATED
locate
display_errors = On
And change the value to
display_errors = Off
Stop then restart xampp for the new settings to take effect
(N.B. there are comments about error_reporting = as well as the command line.)

The pic shows how to find the file php.ini, yours will be different but it should help you

I have the same errors showing up on the webpage. I turned off the error messages in the php.ini file, even restarted my computer to ensure services were stopped and restarted again, but to no avail.

I am running windows xp pro. using xampp.

Still receiving the errors at the header of the page:

I have the same errors showing up on the webpage. I turned off the error messages in the php.ini file, even restarted my computer to ensure services were stopped and restarted again, but to no avail.....

Did you check phpinfo() to make sure you edited the correct php.in file ?

Did you
locate
error_reporting =
And change the value to
error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_DEPRECATED

[pensake]

Sorry I am a total noob.

In the phpinfo() it says Configuration file (php.ini) path C:\windows and the loaded configuration file says C:\xampp\php\php.ini

There is no php.ini in my windows directory. I made sure and searched my entire hdd.


Thanks for quick response btw.

[Webdongle]

...

There is no php.ini in my windows directory. I made sure and searched my entire hdd.
...

No because it's in your
C:\xampp\php\php.ini

...

There is no php.ini in my windows directory. I made sure and searched my entire hdd.
...

Then what file did you edit ? One on another computer ?

... I turned off the error messages in the php.ini file,...

[pensake]

C:\xampp\php\php.ini is the one I edited.

display_errors
; Default Value: off
; Development Value: On
; Production Value: Off

; display_startup_errors
; Default Value: Off
; Development Value: On
; Production Value: Off

; error_reporting
; Default Value: E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_DEPRECATED
; Development Value: E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE
; Production Value: E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_NOTICE

[Webdongle]

Ah common easy mistake to make

locate
error_reporting =
And change the value to
error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_DEPRECATED
locate
display_errors = On
And change the value to
display_errors = Off

not

locate
;error_reporting =
And change the value to
;error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_DEPRECATED
locate
;display_errors = On
And change the value to
;display_errors = Off

Look very closely and remember that files are often documented with comments. In this particular file the comments are preceded by
;
The
;
Tells the computer the lines beginning with
;
are comments and not instructions.

[pensake]

Every line of that file is preceded with ;

Do I just remove the comment on those particular parts?

[Webdongle]

Every line of that file is preceded with ;
...

Correction, you think Every line of that file is preceded with ;
Look more carefully and use the search

That was it. Thanks so much. I am blind as a bat lol

[Webdongle]

It helps when you know what you are looking for (and when you've spent hours looking for typo's to find an extra pace between characters )

[pensake]

indeed lol

[ukfliers]

Thanks to both of you - as I read incorrectly also and after your further explanation - worked and loaded my 1.6 template and bingo - there it was

[ukfliers]

One thing still remaining - Cannot get it to install Joomla 1.7 in Firefox 5

[Webdongle]

... Cannot get it to install Joomla 1.7 in Firefox 5

Perhaps post step by step and explain the problem in http://forum.joomla.org/viewforum.php?f=579 ?

[1Johnboy]

[Ian Davies]

Just saying thanks, was a very quick fix with this thread cheers guys.

[dEhiN]

In the php.ini file
locate
error_reporting =
And change the value to
error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_DEPRECATED
locate
display_errors = On
And change the value to
display_errors = Off
Stop then restart xampp for the new settings to take effect
(N.B. there are comments about error_reporting = as well as the command line.)

Thanks SO much Webdongle for the post. I'm just installing Joomla 1.7 on my local machine using XAMPP, and I was getting these same errors and issues! You're definitely a life-saver.

[jefgees]

Hoi peole, i tried all of the above tips and nothing does work.
I also read that using XAMMP version 1.7.3 will help to resolve the problem.
any other tips please.

[dEhiN]

I'm using the latest XAMPP version (I think 1.7.3), and the above worked. Remember to edit the actual code line and not the comments line(s). Also, what OS are you installing on? If it's Win Vista/7, remember to not install XAMPP into the "C:\Program Files" folder, due to permission issues.

[jefgees]

The latest version of XAMMP is 1.7.4 ( http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html ).
The OS i have is Win XP Pro.
But after following all the tips ... it still does not work.
Sorry ....

Sorry ....

Maybe try installing XAMPP 1.7.4 as a fresh install. Since you are using XP, installing to the Program Files folder should be fine. But if you've tried that and you're having problems, try installing to C:\. Also try a clean installation of Joomla 1.6. But make the changes to your php.ini file first. Then run the Joomla installation. When you go through, check and see if your settings match the recommended settings. Post back here if your settings match the recommended ones and you are still having trouble.

[jefgees]

Thanks for the info. I already did several reïnstalls from scratch. And to the directory of C:
But still got the same effect as described above.
Will experiment later this evening.
keep in touch.

[jefgees]

Tried for the 7th time. Started from scratch again.
Last version XAMMP and last version of JOOMLA.
And believe it or not IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do not know what i did different or the same .....
but I do not care. Finally it works ....... with the tips earlier in this post;
error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_DEPRECATED
and
display_errors = Off
Thank you dEhiN for motivating me to give it another (next to the last) try.
Thanks.

Hi Guys, I need a hand to get the below sorted:

Strict Standards: Static function JDatabase::test() should not be abstract in C:\myWebsite\XAMPP\htdocs\Joomla17\libraries\joomla\database\database.php on line 350
Infinite loop detected in JError

This is what I ve got once php.ini has been amended as per your earlier tips


thanks, Tom
