Joomla 3.1.5 have bug with PHP 5.5 but you do not need to worry to make it work you just need to modify an file input.php file located in libraries/joomla/filter/input.php here you go: open input.php with your favorite text editor find and replace

$source = preg_replace('/&#(\d+);/me', "utf8_encode(chr(\\1))", $source); // decimal notation

with

$source = preg_replace_callback('/&#(\d+);/m', function($m){return utf8_encode(chr($m[1]));}, $source); // decimal notation 

And

$source = preg_replace('/&#x([a-f0-9]+);/mei', "utf8_encode(chr(0x\\1))", $source); // hex notation 

with

$source = preg_replace_callback('/&#x([a-f0-9]+);/mi', function($m){return utf8_encode(chr('0x'.$m[1]));}, $source); // hex notation 

or for your continence I have uploaded an fixed input.php file you can download it here just replace input.php with original one and you are done..!!

Joomla 3.x doesn't support PHP 5.5 which is what EasyPHP-DevServer-13.1VC11 uses. You need to downgrade to an EasyPHP-DevServer version that uses PHP 5.4 or 5.3, the choice is up to you.
