Narrowing occurred during type inference in CakePHP

Question

My CakePHP Version: 2.8.4 PHP: 7.1.12 (FastCGI)

I just noticed that the error log is full of this:

2018-01-07 09:05:33 Warning: Warning (2): Narrowing occurred during type inference. Please file a bug report on bugs.php.net in [/var/www/******/httpdocs/lib/Cake/Core/App.php, line 547]

There are plenty of such an error.

Not just about GalleryPicturesController.php, but always refers to "Cake/Core/App.php, line 547".

Cake/Core/App.php, line 547:

What can be the cause of the error?

UPDATE

Solution:

class AppModel extends Model
    {
    public $locale = 'hun';//I just added it

But now:

As already mentioned in the comments, that is a bug in PHP, and you are using the PHP version where that bug apparently was introduced, that is 7.1.12, see the related bug reports:

• https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=75608
• https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=75570

The bug was fixed in in PHP 7.1.13 and 7.2.1 , so I'd suggest that you upgrade your PHP installation, or if you cannot upgrade (or downgrade for that matter), try disabling opcode caching , which is where this bug seems to stem from.

If upgrading doesn't fix the problem, report it over at https://bugs.php.net
