Turn off deprecated errors in PHP 5.3

My server is running PHP 5.3 and my WordPress install is spitting these errors out on me, causing my session_start() to break. 

Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /home//public_html/hub/wp-settings.php on line 647

Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /home//public_html/hub/wp-settings.php on line 662

Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /home//public_html/hub/wp-settings.php on line 669

Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /home//public_html/hub/wp-settings.php on line 676

Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /home//public_html/hub/wp-settings.php on line 712

This is annoying, but I do not want to turn off on screen error reporting. How do I disable these bothersome deprecated warnings?

I am running WordPress 2.9.2.

Solution

  • You can do it in code by calling the following functions.

    error_reporting(E_ERROR | E_WARNING | E_PARSE | E_NOTICE);

    or

    error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_DEPRECATED);
