 * Having recently upgraded to version 3.2.1 and running PHP version 5.3.6, I am
   getting:
 *     ```
       PHP Deprecated:  Directive 'safe_mode' is deprecated in PHP 5.3 and greater in Unknown on line 0
       PHP Deprecated:  Directive 'magic_quotes_sybase' is deprecated in PHP 5.3 and greater in Unknown on line 0
       ```
   
 * I realize my PHP version is ahead of the minimum required, but does anyone have
   a slick way to keep these errors out of my phperrors log?
 * Oh, and is it going to hurt something for me to be getting these errors/

 * Have you tried:
 * – deactivating **all** plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works,
   re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
 * – switching to the Twenty Eleven theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.
 * – [resetting the plugins folder](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F)
   by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause
   problems.

 * Thanks. I have not tried those. I will when I’m on something other than my smart
   phone.
 * I did a grep on the basedir for the function names. They only appear in the wp
   code not in any plugins or themes: wp-formatting was one, if I remember it right.
 * Will try your suggestions tonight, but it looks to me that it is not in the plugins.
   Thanks.
