There are several PHP 7.2 compatibility checking scripts that will detect these issues.  The ones I am aware of are SiteGround, Cloudflare and the GitHub php compatibility script in the link above.  All of the warnings in the PHP 7.2 compatibility checking script can be disregarded.

Any/all warnings regarding > INI directive ‘mbstring.func_overload’ is deprecated since PHP 7.2 can be disregarded because BPS and BPS Pro use this checking condition below to check if this php.ini directive is in use > mbstring.func_overload. What that means is that the mbstring.func_overload php.ini directive will only be processed if it exists and is enabled.

if ( ini_get( 'mbstring.func_overload' ) && function_exists( 'mb_internal_encoding' ) ) {

$previous_encoding = mb_internal_encoding();

mb_internal_encoding( 'ISO-8859-1' );

}

These warnings below can be disregarded because the PHP compatibility script is finding the BPS error checking code, which is also checking for compatibility/errors for these php.ini directives.  In other words, the GitHub script is error checking BPS error checking code.

767 | WARNING | INI directive ‘safe_mode’ is deprecated since PHP 5.3 and removed since PHP 5.4
815 | WARNING | INI directive ‘register_globals’ is deprecated since PHP 5.3 and removed since PHP 5.4
842 | WARNING | INI directive ‘magic_quotes_gpc’ is deprecated since PHP 5.3 and removed since PHP 5.4

This warning below can be disregarded because there is not actually a problem occurring.  This file is an HTML index file and does not contain any php code.  This file is not using short open tags. So this error/warning is not really a valid error/warning.

1 | WARNING | No PHP code was found in this file and short open tags are not allowed by this install of PHP. This file may be using short open tags
| | but PHP does not allow them.
