xampp 1.8.1

[Greg Summers]

I use xampp to  test sites locally and just upgraded xampp to 1.8.1.

 

I have a local Joomla 2.5  site that has been working fine in the previous version of xampp but now after upgrading I get this jcemediabox error only when viewing the front end. I get no errors working in the backend.?

 

Strict Standards: Only variables should be assigned by reference in C:\xampp\htdocs\ProBoat-2012-Joomla\plugins\system\jcemediabox\jcemediabox.php on line 331

Anyone seen this before?

 

Thanks, Greg.

There are errors in the backend too. like this:
Strict Standards: Non-static method WFEditor::getInstance() should not be called statically in C:\ bla bla bla.

This is because the reporting in your version of PHP has this feature built in. The only thing you can do at this point is to turn off error reporting. In the future it is recommended to ensure your site (local or otherwise) runs on the platform you put it on. You are likely going to get many errors with a Joomla site running this high version of PHP.

 

If you really want to fix this problem you need to go into your php.ini file and find “error_reporting = E_ALL” and change it to “error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_STRICT”.

 

You might also try and add a statement to your htaccess file (php_value error_reporting 30711). No guarantee any of this will work but that is what I would try first.

Thanks Kevin,

 

Changing to: error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_STRICT seems to have solved the problem.

 

So Is php 5.4.7 to new for Joomla 2.5?

 

I’m not clear on what you mean by “it is recommended to ensure your site (local or otherwise) runs on the platform you put it on”

 

Greg.

Yes, sorry I should have been more detailed. Joomla 2.5 is set to run optimal on php 5.3.+ with a minimum of 5.2.4. It has not been tested to work with 5.4.x and there has been major changes in PHP for versions above 5.4.x. Not only do you have to worry about the core Joomla features working but that of all your extensions. I have found the highest version that works for the sites I have to be PHP 5.3.18 which for XAMPP would be version 1.7.3. I have tested on 1.7.4 and above and ran into problems.

I'm using XAMPP 1.7.3 and it works like a charm with all of my Joomla! 2.5 and 3.0 projects... maybe its not time to update to 1.8 yet?
