XAMPP/WAMP (PHP 5.3.x) and Codeigniter Problem

If you’re running a fresh install of XAMPP/WAMP (PHP 5.3 or more) and CodeIgniter then you are already probably running into problems such as deprecation errors and then a URI issue here’s some help:

First, here’s how to solve the issue regarding these errors:

Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in C:\wamp\www\ci\system\codeigniter\Common.php on line 130

Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in C:\wamp\www\ci\system\codeigniter\Common.php on line 136

In index.php in your Project folder replace line

error_reporting(E_ALL); with this:

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED);

Then, you’ll probably get an error about a bad URI if you try to run any controlls. It should say something like this:

The URI you submitted has disallowed characters.

Here’s the solution for that as well. In URI.php which is located in  Project Folder\system\libraries\Uri.php

replace line 189 from:

if ( ! preg_match("|^[".preg_quote($this->config->item('permitted_uri_chars'))."]+$|i", $str))

to :

if ( ! preg_match("|^[".str_replace('\\-', '-', preg_quote($this->config->item('permitted_uri_chars')))."]+$|i", $str))

Happy Coding!

Cheers!
