These messages have no functional impact on Uptime Infrastructure Monitor operation.  

To suppress these deprecated entries from the php log

1. Edit the //apache/php/php.ini file.
2. Change the following line:
   from:
   error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_WARNING
   to:
   error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_WARNING & ~E_DEPRECATED.
3. Save the changes to the php.ini file.
4. 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.
