PHP 5.3.0 Depracated messages
As per this thread, I'm reporting these messages as a bug. :)

Seems to me a vBulletin 3.8.4 will be next to make vBulletin completely compatible with the latest PHP release.

The fix for this is to remove the bits that E_DEPRECATED has, and since E_DEPRECATED is undefined it should be done like this:
PHP Code:
/* sample one */
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & -8191);

/* sample two */
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~8192); 
it looks ugly indeed, but it should do the job

If you use a PHP IDE that supports directly find/replace, perform a find/replace on all vBulletin files.

Searching for:

PHP Code:
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE); 
And replacing with:

PHP Code:
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~8192); 
Also related to PHP 5.3.0, if you get a PHP Warning pertaining to the server Timezone simply add this to your config.php file:

PHP Code:
date_default_timezone_set('Timezone'); 
Replacing Timezone with either your timezone or your server's timezone found on this page: http://us2.php.net/manual/en/timezones.php

Doing these two things makes vBulletin run flawlessly on PHP 5.3.0.

I have applied the fix with ~8192 to 3.8 trunk (looks ugly but we need to support PHP4 in vB3), and updated the code for 4.0 trunk (vB4 will require PHP5). These changes will make it out with the next release.

For the timezone one, can you please open a new bug report with the specific symptoms so we can look into it?

Even with the fix
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~8192);
I still get en error in an error.log file:
PHP Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated

Those need to be fixed manually.

Simply find the line it's talking about and change: =& to =

You're better off waiting for 3.8.4, though, because they are all fixed in that version.

Actually, not =& to =, that will probably cause problems. It should be "=& new" to "= new", and we are not doing that for 3.8.4, as 3.8.x series must support PHP 4, and doing that in PHP 4 will tell php to make a copy of the variable instead of pass a reference back, which takes double the memory, and may cause undesired behaviors.

As for the error log, I think that's a PHP bug: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=48843 and should be fixed in 5.3.1, which isn't out yet, but can be obtained through their CVS/SVN: http://svn.php.net/

php.ini is controlled by your host. You need to contact your host for that.

Yes same here. 3.8.4 PL2 and PHP 5.3.1 does not fix the issue. Getting it on usercp.php, showthread.php, group.php have not found others yet.

Thought this was supposed to be fixed in 3.8.4?? I updated my files with a latest download from today, still showing error.

I am not turning off error reporting in the php.ini to simply "hide the problem". Need this fixed. This bug should be open...

Can you provide a separate download for php4 users? I mean all do respect, php reached EOL in 2007. PHP 5 has been out for 6 years now.

Code:
/* sample one */ 
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & -8191); 

/* sample two */ 
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~8192);
Where do you add this?
