    @matt Bagley – I’m not seeing these error messages in my PHP 5.4 test installation, do you have any other details that might point to what was happening with these messages were being written?

    – Cais.

    I believe they are all strict errors (or notices?). I have a plugin that catches all the errors and shows them.

    And then I have this little plugin that makes it show them. Without it, it only shows really bad errors.

    <?php
/*
Plugin Name: Show Strict Errors
Plugin URI: https://www.mydigitalwalk.com
Description: Funny little plugin that will display all site errors. Careful...
Version: 0.1
Author: Matt Bagley
Author URI: https://www.mydigitalwalk.com
License: GPLv2 or later
*/

error_reporting(E_ALL);
//use with an error catcher, or just to display
ini_set('display_errors', '1');
//otherwise keep a log. may get really long really fast...
//ini_set('log_errors','true');
//ini_set('error_log','/path/to/error_log');
//ini_set('error_reporting','999999999');

?>

    Anyhow, some of the errors are simple. Like the non-static function in module.lightbox.php. It’s being called as $this->_add_script_data on one line and then as self::_add_script_data in another place.

    The error is referencing the second call. Either call it as $this->_add_script_data or set the function to “public static” and call both as self::_add_script_data.

    Don’t know about the “should be compatible with” errors. It’s complaining about the same call/function/method for each pair. Might be something in the extending the original class. I noticed lots of them don’t like or are clashing with C_Component::define.

    Let me know if the above plugin helps. Oh, and you can’t just put it in wp-config.php. For some reason (atleast for me) WordPress messes with it later on and nothing shows.

    Otherwise I’ll see how to get them to show on a default install.

    @matt Bagley – If you do not use the “Show Strict Errors” plugin are you still seeing these logs being written to?

    – Cais.

    No. They don’t seem to.

    @matt Bagley – Thanks for the update. In most cases these messages are not going to be an issue for most servers as the error level reporting settings are generally not high enough to trip over these messages.

    As it is, we do try to eliminate those that we find but they also should not be affecting any of NextGEN Gallery’s functionality.

    – Cais.
