………….. And some other lines.

SOLUTION: You need to a little fix in php.ini file

  1. Open php.ini file.
  2. Find “error_reporting = E_ALL | E_STRICT” (this would be around line number 516)
  3. Replace with “error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_DEPRECATED“
  4. Restart the APACHE and you are done.
