[Mike Fara]

Affected version

2.3

Solution:

        public function handleTemplateError($errorType, $errorString, $file, $line)
        {
                switch ($errorType)
                {
                        case E_NOTICE:
                        case E_USER_NOTICE:
                                // ignore these (generally accessing an invalid variable)
                                return;

//                      case E_STRICT:
                        case E_DEPRECATED:
                        case E_USER_DEPRECATED:

A reminder that deprecated notices only get logged in debug/development mode and this does not affect normal usage in any way.

Yes, if you normally have the error reporting on in your php.ini, this one issue will fill up any log file fast, it was super annoying, so I thought I would mention it. Setting it to none does fix the error of the error being deprecated!
