Hi,

Have you tried something like this?

error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_STRICT

The way to do it is that & ~E_STRICT removes the E_STRICT bit from the
error reporting. You can do that with *many* other stuff. If you succeed
with putting error_reporting = 0, then I believe you simply didn't know
how to handle error_reporting.

Please try again and let us know, otherwise we will simply close this
bug, because it really seem to me that the mistake is on your side.

Cheers,

Thomas
