The question is - Is the result E_STRICT safe?

Would say: Depends on the package you use. I don't use PEAR-packages myself, thus I don't really know. I would say: Try it out :) Test it on your dev-machine, or within a vm and nothing can break.

Sebastian I'm asking because what I have, which I think is the latest version of PEAR, is throwing numerous E_STRICT errors!

Didn't you say you use the builtin packages from suse? I guess they are _not_ the latest :X

I'm trying to establish if this is actually correct, and that PEAR has never been brought up to date, or I'm still hitting a pre E_STRICT version.

As mentioned: That depends on the packages. There are packages, that are completely unmaintained nowadays. However, I have some tools, that relies on PEAR-packages and I've seen no E_STRICT for a while now, which makes me think, that at least some, if not all, are PHP5.4-compliant.

I suspect the former which is not very helpful when I've been told simply to fix my own E_STRICT problems ... I don't have time to rework PEAR as well as the libraries I've already fixed :( So is E_STRICT simply something that should be thrown in the bin and the defaulting ON in PHP5.4 is somewhat premature?

On my dev machine I use the same settings and it works well (I use Ubuntu, but I cannot imagine, that this makes such a huge difference). Did you try this in the meantime? (Replace "sudo" with the "execute as root" suse uses ;)) $ sudo pear update-channels $ sudo pear upgrade pear $ sudo pear update-channels $ sudo pear updrade --alldeps Don't know, if 'update-channels' twice is really required, but it's doesn't hurt and I have the pear installer in mind with some curious behaviours ;)
