FreePBX 2.11 + Debian 8 (Jessie)

1

When installing FreePBX 2.11 + Asterisk 11.20.0 on Debian 8 (Jessie) instead of Debian 7 (Wheezy), I get a massive numbers of:

PHP Notice: Undefined offset: 8192 in /var/www/html/admin/libraries/utility.functions.php on line 383

What is this indicative of and what can be done to eliminate them?

so the line

$txt = sprintf("%s] (%s:%s) - %s", $errortype[$errno], $errfile, $errline, $errstr);

known error types:

        $errortype = array (
                E_ERROR                                 => 'ERROR',
                E_WARNING                               => 'WARNING',
                E_PARSE                                 => 'PARSE_ERROR',
                E_NOTICE                                => 'NOTICE',
                E_CORE_ERROR                    => 'CORE_ERROR',
                E_CORE_WARNING                  => 'CORE_WARNING',
                E_COMPILE_ERROR                 => 'COMPILE_ERROR',
                E_COMPILE_WARNING               => 'COMPILE_WARNING',
                E_USER_ERROR                    => 'USER_ERROR',
                E_USER_WARNING                  => 'USER_WARNING',
                E_USER_NOTICE                   => 'USER_NOTICE',
                E_STRICT                                => 'RUNTIM_NOTICE',
                E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR     => 'CATCHABLE_FATAL_ERROR',
                );

the error 8192 is E_DEPRECATED. which isn’t in the list above and is new as of PHP 5.3.0

For PHP 5.3 you need FreePBX 12+

4

It appears PHP 5.4.45 is being installed under Debian 7 (Wheezy) -> No “Undefined offset: 8192:…” messages

It appears PHP 5.6.14 is being installed under Debian 8 (Jessie) -> Massive “Undefined offset: 8192:…” messages

What will be the effect of simply ignoring these messages under Debian 8 (Jessie)?

5

If you are using a newer version of PHP I suggest you use 12+. Most things will probably be OK but you may run in to random issues and quirks that may affect usability and stability.

You can add

8192    => 'DEPRECATED_FUNCTION',

to the above array and see what the actual error is.

6

The 8192 errors are only occurring during the install of FreePBX 2.11 (not during the use of FreePBX 2.11).

It’s not clear to me how I would add:

8192 => ‘DEPRECATED_FUNCTION’,

to

/var/www/html/admin/libraries/utility.functions.php

during the install process.

7

Hold on…

I think I’ve figured out how to add the line with sed after the install archive has been extracted.

I’ll report back what I find.

James,

With

8192 => ‘DEPRECATED_FUNCTION’,

added to the $errortype array as you suggested, there are no

PHP Notice: Undefined offset: 8192 in /var/www/html/admin/libraries/utility.functions.php on line 383

messages displayed. Given that, is it safe to assume this is an innocuous message that can be ignored?

Thanks,
Ron
