 * create_function is deprecated in PHP 7.2
 * thus, on line 656
 *     ```
       $section_callback = create_function( '',
       	'echo "' . $desc . '";' );
       ```
   
 * should be replaced with:
 *     ```
       $section_callback = function() {
           echo $desc;
       };
       ```
   
 * hope this helps someone else that wants to squash their PHP warnings
