Hi, we are currently running ARI Quiz version 3.8.4 on a Joomla 3.6.5 site with PHP version 7.1. The plugin is filling up Apache's error_log with PHP Warning messages - about one every second or less. Here are excerpts of the same three warning messages, which are getting generated over and over again:

[Wed Oct 04 13:14:59.533253 2017] [php7:warn] [pid 12359] [client xxx.xxx.xx.xxx:xxxxx] PHP Warning: Declaration of AriDateUtility::toUnix($date, $local = true) should be compatible with JDate::toUnix() in ../components/com_ariquiz/kernel/Utils/j16/class.DateUtility.php on line 104, referer:

[Wed Oct 04 13:14:59.533759 2017] [php7:warn] [pid 12359] [client xxx.xxx.xx.xxx:xxxxx] PHP Warning: Declaration of AriQuizTableQuiz::_getAssetParentId() should be compatible with JTable::_getAssetParentId(?JTable $table = NULL, $id = NULL) in ../components/com_ariquiz/tables/quiz.php on line 23, referer:

[Wed Oct 04 13:14:59.674313 2017] [php7:warn] [pid 13678] [client xxx.xxx.xx.xxx:xxxxx] PHP Warning: Declaration of AriConfig::set($name, $val) should be compatible with JObject::set($property, $value = NULL) in ../components/com_ariquiz/kernel/Utils/class.Config.php on line 208

The error logs are huge and I am having to delete them to reclaim space. What can I do to disable these warning messages?

Hello,

Send your order number by email please.

Hi, I forwarded the order number as you requested. However, I still don't have a resolution. Should I hide PHP warning messages by appending ~E_WARNING to error_reporting in the php.ini file?

I hid the PHP Warning messages in my php.ini file, but my error_log is still getting filled with PHP Notice messages like these:

[Fri Oct 06 15:08:33.964731 2017] [php7:notice] [pid 18740] [client xxx.xxx.xx.xxx:xxxxx] PHP Notice: Only variables should be assigned by reference in ../joomla/administrator/components/com_ariquiz/kernel/Joomla/Tables/class.Table.php on line 409, referer:

I'd appreciate any input. Should I just disable error logging altogether?

If you want to disable notices, use the following value for error_reporting parameter:

error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED | E_STRICT | E_NOTICE

Thanks, I can do that. Is there a newer version of ARI Quiz that is more compatible with PHP 7.x that I could upgrade to so I don't have to disable the warning and notification messages?
