I have upgraded to ISPConfig 3.2

Removed the &'s on the variables _processDb

Line 140: _processDbState($record['type'], $serverId, &$serverState, &$messages);

to

Line 140: _processDbState($record['type'], $serverId, $serverState, $messages);

because the function is defined as:

function _processDbState($type, $serverId, &$serverState, &$messages)

Error messages are no longer in the error_log.

Is this a coding error?

No, this are no error messages. The language definition of the PHP programming language is changing from version to version. What you got are no errors, it were warnings to inform developers that specific features will get removed in future PHP versions. To avoid these messages, please set the error level in the php.ini to show only errors and not warnings.

We might modify the code so that these warnings do not appear in a future version of ispconfig, but this needs testing on many older PHP releases to ensure that it does not break any code.
