ehm, my error log format is in xml. i don't think it's related to the XML-RPC component. please correct me if i'm wrong.

"Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated" and "Redefining already defined constructor for class wpdb" are due to php4 compatibility. We have to live with those.

2.7.1 should hide strict warnings unless WP_DEBUG is defined. Do you have that defined?

[sybold]

i'm running my own error reporting script to display the errors, after the installation all pages went white.

you can see it here.

WordPress disables the output of E_STRICT errors due to their nature, WordPress supports PHP4.3+, Its impossible to abide by PHP5 strict rules as well as the available language constructs available in PHP 4.3

Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated

Which isnt deprecated in PHP4, only some version of PHP5, Works well in achieving the goal in PHP4

Redefining already defined constructor for class WP_Object_Cache

For PHP4 you need to have both construct() and ClassName() functions, as it doesnt reconise *() functions

Non-static method WP_Http_Streams::test() should not be called statically, assuming $this from incompatible context

Not sure, But i think that could be silenced by adding 'static' to the class method definition for the ::test()'s, but really dont see why it should be needed.. Esp. the fact that its only the latest PHP5 which is throwing this (silenced) error.

My point is, WordPress doesnt yet support PHP5 E_STRICT (Heck, It barely supports E_NOTICE most of the time), Resolving this as WOTNFIX (For the time being)

[jacobsantos]

Dude, if you are running your own script, then it is your screw up and not WordPress. Here I was thinking, that the E_STRICT fix wasn't working and you have some custom code. If you try to "fix" E_STRICT in PHP5, you inadvertently enable it. It is the reason it is specifically not defined in the error reporting when it is set.

When WordPress does make the transition to PHP5+, those static errors will be fixed. I didn't feel like making them functions and well, PHP4 has no concept of "static" or methods anyway, as long as you don't try to use $this when calling a method statically.
