weather map problem with php 5.4

[javigreen]

I have installed cacti 0.8.7i with Plugin network weather map. The server has php 5.4. Map shows no cacti and the editor does not work.
The apache log shows the following error:
PHP Warning: Creating default object from empty value in / var / www / cacti / plugins / weathermap / Weathermap.class.php on line 409
Weathermap I think is not compatible with Apache 5.4 Is that true?
Do you have any solution?
thanks

Looks like php 5.4 no longer creates objects when they are first referred to, without warnings. Apart from the warning message, I don't see why it wouldn't work though, so either move to PHP 5.3, or add this at line 21 in Weathermap.class.php:
error_reporting(E_NONE);
to disable the warning.

That will disable all other warnings though, so you may find it harder to fix other problems later.

I'll investigate what is required for 5.4 before Weathermap 0.98 is released.

Howie,

is there any result on your investigation?
We are going to globally migrate to PHP 5.4, and I'd like to use your awesome weathermap plugin further on w/o the need to have an own PHP environment for it.

Thank you.
