Disable PHP deprecation warnings in your php.ini (or LocalSettings.php). https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24559842/turning-off-deprecation-warnings-in-php-ini-file-wamp

this worked for me. Thanks.

Even with deprecations on, I don't think I've gotten that error before. Guess I'm not using everything I could!

That’s phab:T143788, it seems to be fixed or almost fixed in 1.30 (didn’t read in details).

And fixed or almost fixed in previous versions from 1.27 to 1.29.
