. It’s funny how my enthusiasm to refresh my cakephp knowledge turns to be an ‘ordeal’. I am now facing one error to another. After solving the .htaccess (Namely the 500 Internal Server Error) I am faced with yet another unfamiliar error. A number of errors show on my freshly installed cakephp.
My first instinct is that I have to change the “debug” setting mode of cakephp in app/config/core.php. However that is not the case. So I relied again to google and it (keyword search in Google: cakephp Strict Standards: Redefining already defined constructor for class Object in) returned a number of results and the first search result gave me an immediate most direct solution.
According to the blog, MAMP, PHP5, CakePHP, and Strict Standards, this is not a cakephp problem and instead a new PHP5 Error Standard (Oh my! another trouble with the new PHP 5) which can be turned off in two ways:
- Changing your php.ini
- Or modifying the .htaccess in your root cakephp installation
The first method requires access to the php.ini (which I do not have) so I went on two solution # 2:
Or, in your .htaccess file in your root cake installation, you can add the following line:
php_value error_reporting 6143And when I did that, I refreshed my page and saw that the error’s gone. (Yipee!!!)
It is also quite interesting to note that the reason why this error exists (still exists) is to maintain back compatibility with older version of PHP (that is PHP4).
More powers to the Open-Source Community and to the people who continually share their knowledge and experiences for people like me who is just starting to learn (really learn).
Cheers!
