Since PHP 5.3 was released to the public, its introduces two new error levels: E_DEPRECATED and E_USER_DEPRECATED.
The E_DEPRECATED error level is used to indicate that a function or feature has been deprecated. The E_USER_DEPRECATED level is intended for indicating deprecated features in user code, similarly to the E_USER_ERROR and E_USER_WARNING levels.
Henceforth, a lot of old PHP 4 functions are being deprecated, superseded by newer functions. Apparently, CodeIgniter 1.7.2 or older faced this irritating notice errors.
You may faced errors like such in the following:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 | Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in C:\\XXXXX.php on line 130 Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in C:\\XXXX.php on line 136 A PHP Error was encountered Severity: 8192 Message: Function set_magic_quotes_runtime() is deprecated Filename: codeigniter/CodeIgniter.php Line Number: 60 A PHP Error was encountered Severity: 8192 Message: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated Filename: libraries/Loader.php Line Number: 255 |
To resolve these issues, just get the latest version of CodeIgniter (still version 1.7.2) from the SVN or re-download it @ the downloads page. Somehow, those deprecated functions were being replaced/fixed.
