PHP Strict not turning off

[rsajid]

Hi all,

I am very new to Joomla and PHP (one week experience) and have to support its very initial version 1.0.15 Now I am being asked to upgrade to latest PHP version (as security recommendation) which is 5.5.9 on IIS 7

Now I have set up the server with following details

OS: Windows Server 2008 R2
PHP: 5.5.9
IIS: 7

But when I am trying to set up the Joomla 1.0.15 site I am getting PHP Strict and Deprecated errors / warnings. I have tried following.

In php.ini
error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_STRICT
display_errors = Off

in configuration.php
$mosConfig_display_errors = 'Off';
$mosConfig_error_reporting = -1; also $mosConfig_error_reporting = 'E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_STRICT' and some other numeric combinations posted on different forums.

But nothing seems to have an effect on the outcome. Please note that the site is currently running live on following platform without any problem
OS: windows Server 2003
IIS: 6
PHP: 5.4.3

I have exhausted all my options. Please let me know if Joomla 1.0.15 even supports PHP 5.5.9

I know that I am talking about a very old version here but please help me on this.

Thanks & regards,

If your site is currently running without problem, you should be given enough time to test a migration path to a supported version, at least to Joomla 2.5 because you are likely to have difficulties with 1.0.x under PHP 5.5: http://www.joomla.org/technical-requirements.html

You can install Wamp from http://wampserver.com/en on a workstation, use a copy of your site and test the migration using the same PHP version as your server. If you install several versions of PHP as add-ons, make sure they are all either 64-bit or 32-bit, consistent with the rest of the apps in the Wamp bundle.

PHP 5.3 was not supported till Joomla 1.5.15. Not sure if Joomla 1.5 supports php 5.5 never mind Joomla 1.0.

Thank you both for replying to this.

@toivo we are going to migrate this site eventually but I needed this upgrade as there are some security concerns.

@dpacadmin, strangely the same Joomla site (1.0.15) is running fine on PHP 5.4.3

Thanks and regards,
