At the moment, I am installing PHPBB 3.0.10 and am having this error:
Strict Standards: Non-static method utf_normalizer::nfc() should not be called statically in C:\xampp\htdocs\PHPBB\includes\utf\utf_tools.php on line 1781
I have tried to find an answer for this on the PHPBB boards but have had no luck. I have a bit of background in PHP but don't understand static function calls from dynamic ones. I am using PHP v5.4.4, Apache 2.4.2 and Xampp 1.8.0, if any of that is of relevance. I am also running this on my localhost, not on a remote server.
To induce this error, all I am doing is installing PHPBB. Once I have inserted the Database settings and the Admin account settings, it comes up with this error and won't allow me to continue. I have no extensions installed (ofcourse).
Also, I have not been able to find the nfc function in the file specified. I am unsure as to whether it's in an include though. I also searched inside all files for "function nfc" (excluding quotation marks), but found nothing, and so am unable to use this: Strict Standards: Non-static method STemplate::assign() should not be called statically . I am aware that this problem is common, and many people have claimed that a certain fix has worked for them, but I have been unable to apply these fixes because they were for earlier versions of PHPBB (i.e. 1.0.4).
I have been able to install PHPBB on localhost in the past, but not now. I currently have no working PHPBB installation.
Thanks for any help given.
go to your /includes folder and open up the startup.php
On line ~22 change the line
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_DEPRECATED);
to
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_STRICT);
This may solve your problem =).
