Subject: php5-common: PHP-5.4.3-5 : No way to exclude E_STRICT warnings from error reporting

Date: Mon, 28 May 2012 22:45:37 +0200

Package: php5-common
Version: 5.4.3-5
Severity: important
Tags: upstream

I have tried to tweak the error_reporting variable in /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
to mute warnings about PHP-4 compatibility problems in my Drupal 6.26
installation, without success - the only way I found was to set error_reporting
= 0.

Setting the variable to either E_ERROR or E_WARNING produces the warnings
related to strict-ness violations. The documentation leas one to believe that
E_ALL now includes E_STRICT, but this doesn't seem to be the case, since both
E_ERROR and E_WARNING (values 1 and 2) trigger the warnings.

Is this behaviour really intended, or has a small bug slipped in ?

Thanks for a reply.

Hi,

could you please create minimal test case?

Hi,

Have you tried something like this?

error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_STRICT

The way to do it is that & ~E_STRICT removes the E_STRICT bit from the
error reporting. You can do that with *many* other stuff. If you succeed
with putting error_reporting = 0, then I believe you simply didn't know
how to handle error_reporting.

Please try again and let us know, otherwise we will simply close this
bug, because it really seem to me that the mistake is on your side.

Cheers,

Thomas

I think you include some PHP code (some other Drupal module somewhere
perhaps?) which mess with error_reporting, see:

# cat views.php
<?php

class view {
  function &load($arg, $reset = FALSE) {
    static $cache = array();
    return $cache[$arg];
  }
}

view::load('name');

?>

# php -n -d 'error_reporting=E_ALL & ~E_STRICT' views.php

# php -n -d 'error_reporting=E_ALL' views.php

Strict Standards: Non-static method view::load() should not be called
statically in /tmp/views/views.php on line 10



I don't think there's a bug at all, thus I am closing the bug. If you
can reproduce the bug on a small test file (and not Drupal
installation with custom modules loaded), feel free to reopen the bug.
