PHP 7 with phpmyadmin gives lots of Deprecation Notices

Question

I have Ubuntu 16.04 LTS running with PHP7 and phpmyadmin installed. However, I get a lot of deprecation notices like:

Depre         


        

Answer 1

I had the same problem. I just wanted to mention that before purging phpmyadmin and reinstalling it. Try restarting Apache. In my case it was the simplest approach and I tried it first. I just wanted people to save time.

 sudo service apache2 restart

Answer 2

Until it gets resolved in dependency itself (in your case the php-gettext) and you don't want to change global PHP settings so that your other stuff is not affected you may want to try to just customize PHPMyadmin's index.php by putting

error_reporting( ~E_DEPRECATED & E_ALL );

somewhere at the beginning or by using

php_value error_reporting 24575

in either .htdocs or virtual host configuration directive. I think the latter option is better.

Answer 3

For PHP 7.3+

Edit the following file : config.inc.php. It can be located in /etc/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php or in /usr/share/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php

/**
 * Whether or not to query the user before sending the error report to
 * the phpMyAdmin team when a JavaScript error occurs
 *
 * Available options
 * ('ask' | 'always' | 'never')
 * default = 'ask'
 */

$cfg['SendErrorReports'] = 'never';

Answer 4

"Deprecation Notice" message on login page of phpMyAdmin

Ok, this issue solved easily with editing /etc/php/7.0/apache2/php.ini

Change error_reporting value to:

error_reporting = ~E_DEPRECATED & E_ALL.   

By default it is on comment position, so uncomment it and change it.

Then restart Apache

systemctl restart apache2

OR Second Solution

apt-get purge phpmyadmin
apt-get install phpmyadmin

If require then install

apt-get install php7.0-mbstring

Then restart Apache

systemctl restart apache2

Well, the "Deprecation Notice" message no longer shows.

Answer 5

I solved this issue differently in that i downloaded the official package from a newer Ubuntu:

https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=phpmyadmin

And then installed it:

sudo dpkg -i phpmyadmin_4.6.6-5_all.deb

Thus one doesn't have to use unofficial repositories and the package will simply be updated later on.

Answer 6

One more thing for the top answer; need to add

Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf

to

/etc/apache2/apache2.conf

and restart Apache:

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
