PHP error

[Snowhog]

We migrated our vBulletin 4.2.2 forum over to a new server and began getting php errors in various areas of the forum. This one I don't know how to fix. It is triggered when we click on the Advanced Search link.

Warning: Declaration of vBForum_Item_SocialGroupMessage::getLoadQuery() should be compatible with vB_Model::getLoadQuery($required_query = '', $force_rebuild = false) in ..../packages/vbforum/item/socialgroupmessage.php on line 0

We are using PHP 5.5.9 (Ubuntu).

In includes/class_core.php locate lines 5683-5685 which should be this.

 case E_NOTICE:    
        // Just ignore these completely //    
    break;

And change it to this.

case E_NOTICE: 
   case E_STRICT;     
   case E_DEPRECATED;        
    // Just ignore these completely //  
break;

So that it looks like this:

case E_NOTICE:
// Just ignore these completely //
break;

case E_NOTICE:
case E_STRICT;
case E_DEPRECATED;
// Just ignore these completely //
break;

Ah, okay. I 'got it'. Change to this:

case E_NOTICE:
case E_STRICT;
case E_DEPRECATED;
// Just ignore these completely //
break;

Yeah change it to that.

We were also getting php errors concerning preg_replace() /e being depricated and to use preg_replace_callback() instead. For each reported occurrence, I made the change in the affected .php file. Would I not have had to do that with this fix??

4.2.3 is considered a beta but it runs fine.
