error reporting

set your error reporting at php.ini to:

E_ALL & ~E_STRICT & ~E_DEPRECATED

file includes/database.php

around the line 790, change it from:

PHP Code:

class mosDBTable extends mosDBAbstractRow {
    /** @var mosDatabase Database connector */
    var $_db = null;

    /**
     *    @return bool True if DB query failed.  Sets the error message
     */
    function queryTestFailure () { 


to:

PHP Code:

class mosDBTable extends mosDBAbstractRow {
    /** @var mosDatabase Database connector */
    var $_db = null;

    function mosDBTable ($table='', $keyname='id', $db='') {
        $this->mosDBAbstractRow($table, $keyname, $db);
    }

    /**
     *    @return bool True if DB query failed.  Sets the error message
     */
    function queryTestFailure () { 


file includes/Cache/Lite/Function.php

around the line 72, change it from :

PHP Code:

function call()
{
    $arguments = func_get_args(); 


to:

PHP Code:

function call()
{
    $arguments = func_get_args();
    $numargs = func_num_args();

    for($i=1; $i < $numargs; $i++){

I had luck adding to .htaccess:

php_flag error_reporting 0

Might help in some situations where users have no access to php.ini.
