I got that. It's not unusual that a change to a newer PHP Version or to a version with a different configuration will result in many php messages. You shouldn't be worried about that. Most of them can be solved very easy.

I just wanted to help you with your messages. Thats all. If you don't want to get help with that thats okay too.

I don't know. Some messages can be the result of missing php extensions, but how could be know? Sure, it is possible that some options in the configs can clear some of your errors.
You are the only one with all informations needed to estimate that.

That's what i wanted to say with my last post. Sure, you can configure display_errors or error_reporting to not show these messages. But to hide messages is not always the answer. Messages have the function to indicate something to you.
