Package: php5-cli Version: 5.3.8.0-1+b1 Severity: normal After upgrading from lenny to squeeze, I noticed the following error in my PHP scripts which are run on the command line:
PHP Warning: Directive 'register_long_arrays' is deprecated in PHP 5.3 and greater in Unknown line 0 Looking at the file /etc/php5/cli/php.ini, it contains the following line: register_long_arrays = Off This warning will not affect users by default, but I have switched the warning level to E_ALL (default is E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED). It is possible to remove this warning by editing php.ini and commenting out the register_long_arrays line, but that means changing a Debian-supplied configuration file and may cause conflicts with any future updates. If this option was commented out in the Debian-supplied file, it would not affect users, since it is disabled/Off anyway, but it would prevent warnings for anyone who has switched on all errors. I also think it should be commented out with a view to being removed completely, because this option has been deprecated upstream and the PHP documentation explictly warns that 'relying on this feature is highly discouraged'. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.0.0-1-486 Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages php5-cli depends on: ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.6-1 ii libc6 2.13-21 ii libcomerr2 1.42-1 ii libdb5.1 5.1.25-11 ii libgssapi-krb5-2 1.10+dfsg~alpha1-6 ii libk5crypto3 1.10+dfsg~alpha1-6 ii libkrb5-3 1.10+dfsg~alpha1-6 ii libmagic1 5.09-2 ii libonig2 5.9.1-1 ii libpcre3 8.12-4 ii libqdbm14 1.8.78-1+b1 ii libssl1.0.0 1.0.0e-3 ii libxml2 2.7.8.dfsg-5 ii mime-support 3.51-1 ii php5-common 5.3.8.0-1+b1 ii tzdata 2011n-1 ii ucf 3.0025+nmu2 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 php5-cli recommends no packages.
