How to eliminate php5 Strict standards errors?

Question

After upgrading my PHP to 5.4.3 (WAMP server 2.2), my web app made in CakePHP 1.3, is showing the following errors in my index:

Strict standards: Redefining already defined constructor for class Object in C:...\cake\cake\libs\object.php on line 63

Strict standards: Non-static method Configure::getInstance() should not be called statically in C:...\cake\cake\bootstrap.php on line 49

I've found that some people solve this problem by setting the error_reporting in php.ini to E_ALL & ~E_STRICT.

I did that in both php.ini files (C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.4.3 and C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.2\bin) present on my computer but it didn't solve the problem.

I also tried to put php_value error_reporting 6143 in C:...\cake.htaccess but without success.

Does anybody know how can I solve this? I can't upgrade my CakePHP because of firebird.

Answer 1

One of the changes in php 5.4 is that E_STRICT is now part of E_ALL

So, in your /cake/bootstrap.php you could remove the E_STRICT from your error reporting:

error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_STRICT); 

and be compatible again with before 5.4 versions.
