Seems to me there are a lot of errors coming up with strict mode. I need someone who can replicate this on a stock install and give me a list of things needed:
What versions of everything you’re running
LOGS!! I need the PHP and Apache logs. And I definitely need the MySQL logs
Contact me on Discord. I can debug it but it could be something that may just not be able to be fixed. This version is like 12 years old at this point
This fix has been implemented in phpVMS 5.5.2.72. You can make the same changes in 5.5.2 manually. There may be other issues with strict mode which were not addressed in the above link.
