These messages have no functional impact on Uptime Infrastructure Monitor operation.  To suppress these deprecated entries from the php log, make the following change:

• Edit the //apache/php/php.ini file.
• Change the following line from: error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_WARNING to: error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_WARNING & ~E_DEPRECATED.
• Save the changes to the php.ini file.
• Restart the Uptime Infrastructure Monitor httpd / web server service to apply the change.  After the web server has restarted, tail the php log to verify the change.
