Drupal has four options for running under 5.4: 1. Turn E_STRICT off by default 2. Turn E_STRICT on by default 3. Do not mess around with system settings 4. Implement their own error_reporting setting, completely configurable (1) is not exactly bringing drupal in line with the current standards. It is a workaround. (2) and (3) will lead to loads of issues in those thousands of modules. (4) seems to me the only reasonable way out. >Or if not, simply provide the configuration necessary for it to run without >problems on each version of PHP? That would be (4) imo. However, there is no sign at all that the issue has ever attracted the full attention of one of the core developers. If you look at http://drupal.org/node/1267246 the current choice for drupal8 seems to be (3). "Needs backport to drupal7" ... I will leave it with this, because it is way off topic in the internals list. Jan -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
