php5 is 5.3, but not fully supported by Drupal6

[EmmaJane]

Binary package hint: drupal6

Drupal 6 does not fully support PHP5.3 at this time. The default package of php5 in 10.04 includes the following configuration option:
error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE

This does not allow Drupal to turn off the "deprecated" warnings and therefore the site won't load. The php.ini configuration file must be updated to the following for Drupal 6 to work:
error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_DEPRECATED

The suggested changes to php.ini does not seems to work as intended..

The problem actually is a more general problem with php 5.3 (As reported below), and I therefore recommend to update php 5.3.1 to at least php 5.3.2, where the problem is solved, and maybe raise the importance of the bug a bit ;).

I just tried out drupal6 in Maverick and I see no issues with deprecated warnings.

Further, lucid and maverick are both on php 5.3.2, so I'm puzzled why you would mention 5.3.1.

EmmaJane, if you can post the specific revisions of PHP, Drupal6, and which version of Ubuntu you're running, and an example of one of th deprecated warnings, please feel free to do so and re-mark this bug as "New". Otherwise, this bug report seems lacking in details, so I am marking as Incomplete.

Hi EmmaJane,

Any chance you've had some time to take another look at this? It has been a few months now with no response.

Thanks!
