Good day, I am new to openemr. Just installed and i seem to have issues with php script distortion which is present in all the openermr tabs. I attached screenshots for clarity.

I have installed openemr 5.0 sucessfully but when I came to New Patient there was an notice: (I’m just a user so I really confused about that): And in the Flow Chart module, it also have some notice like: Notice: Undefined index: form\_provider in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/openemr/interface/patient\_tracker/patient\_tracker.php on line 47 Notice: Undefined index: form\_facility in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/openemr/interf…

I replaced this setting in the php.ini line 445 to line 440 with error\_reporting starting the line and leave out (show only errors),if you are using notepad++ ![txt - Notepad](https://community.open-emr.org/images/transparent.png)
