any suggestions?

CiviCRM is not guaranteed to work with PHP 5.4. I believe you're seeing this messages due to PHP 5.4

[Donald Lobo]

fix your php.ini to suppress E_STRICT messages.

lobo

[hiweed]

In /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini, it's:
error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_STRICT
However, strict warnings still appear.

I'm using CiviCRM 4.2.2 and Debian Wheezy (PHP 5.4.4, Mysql 5.5.24, Apache 2.2.22).

[donquixote]

I think this is not cool.
I also updated to PHP 5.4 recently, and I think more people will do, soon.
What can we do? Change those functions to static?
Probably QuickForm is a dead horse, and it doesn't really hurt to hack it?

[donquixote]

Ok, I can say:
A lot of the places with methods that are called static can be fixed.
However, there are some other PHP 5.4 issues which cannot be fixed that easily.
So maybe the PHP settings are still the preferable option?

[Donald Lobo]

Civi 4.3 will work with PHP 5.4. Howeveri suspect we will not be able to eliminate all the STRICT warnings, though that is the next step in the process

if you can start submitted patches to get rid of the STRICT warnings that would be great

i've started using CiviCRM again after a really long time and came across these STRICT warnings.

i've managed to get rid of them on PHP 5.4 by simply adding "static" to the functions called, and adding  a couple additional variables to functions in two or three places. i must admit that i'm not really sure if or how these newly 'static' functions affect things overall, and before i start putting this into patches, i want to ask if that's the way this is supposed to be fixed? seems a little too easy, somehow...

[Donald Lobo]

You should use the 4.3 version which is in beta3 right now.

We've fixed a fair bit / most of the strict warnings and notices from php 5.4

if u want to be on 4.2, just suppress the strict warnings in drupal admin and/or php.ini

lobo

[phani]

switching off via php.ini doesn't work, for some reason. doesn't bother me though, since on my production server i can choose PHP 5.3. it's only my local archlinux that's on 5.4 and i don't want to go through the trouble of installing an alternative version.

just thought that since i did hack those files for me locally, i could share that if it was useful. not figuring out how exactly to write CiviCRM patches sounds rather good, unless i have to.

[The Next Wave]

So is civi 4.3.3 ready for PHP 5.4?
No one seems to have said anything lately- and cpanel never made it to 5.3.3 for php- stopping at 5.3.26

need to know.

The last post is dated June 10, 2013, but I got "strict warnings" today (the real account name is replaced by <account name>):
Strict warning: Non-static method CRM_Core_BAO_UFGroup::checkFieldsEmptyValues() should not be called statically, assuming $this from incompatible context in CRM_Profile_Form->postProcess() (regel 1315 van /var/www/htdocs/<accountname>/public/sites/all/modules/civicrm/CRM/Profile/Form.php).


using
- php 5.4.38
- drupal 7.35
- civiCRM 4.6.0

so, still having to change php.ini as suggested in previous posts?
