Problem with Captive Portal and package VHosts

Hi,
In a new installation of pfSense 2.2.2 although it appears that the captive portal works the same, following the report of the error that I proceeded to send


Crash report begins.  Anonymous machine information:

PHP Errors:
[03-Jun-2015 09:59:37 Europe/Rome] PHP Strict Standards:  Non-static method PEAR::isError() should not be called statically in /etc/inc/captiveportal.inc on line 2216
[03-Jun-2015 09:59:43 Europe/Rome] PHP Strict Standards:  Non-static method PEAR::isError() should not be called statically in /etc/inc/captiveportal.inc on line 2229

The only additional packages are installed: freeradius2, syslog-ng and vhosts.
They are used for authentication and user registration via SMS with an application hosted in a virtualhost on vHosts. syslog-ng is used to log the Internet traffic directly to local disk in /var/syslog-ng/default.log with the ability to rotate

I removed the three installed packages ( freeradius2 , syslog-ng and vHosts ) and the error is gone.
Then I installed the packages one at a time and restarted pfSense, after I installed the package vHosts (v. 0.7.5) the error reappeared.

Follow the lines of code in the file captiveportal.inc ( from 2216 to 2236 ) where the error occurs


2216    if (PEAR::isError($racct->start())) {
		$retvalue['acct_val'] = 1;
		 $retvalue['error'] = $racct->getMessage();

		// If we encounter an error immediately stop this function and go back
		$racct->close();
		return $retvalue;
	        }
	        // Send request
	        $result = $racct->send();
	        // Evaluation of the response
	        // 5 -> Accounting-Response
	        // See RFC2866 for this.
2229	if (PEAR::isError($result)) {
		    $retvalue['acct_val'] = 1;
		    $retvalue['error'] = $result->getMessage();
	        } else if ($result === true) {
		    $retvalue['acct_val'] = 5 ;
	        } else {
		    $retvalue['acct_val'] = 1 ;
	       }

I think the package VHosts ver. 0.7.5 must be updated to work with the new version of PHP 5.5.23

Any idea to fix this bug? Anyone can contact the maintainer of this package to report the problem?

Thanks in advance

You can do so ;)

If … one still exists.
