  • When you are going for search a answer , the first thing is question title and you can differentiate the article.. Anyway i had already accepted answer. – Kishor Apr 05 '16 at 08:13
  • The cause of this problem is that you are using PHP 7 and Magento 1 is not fully compatible. The solution can be found in the linked duplicate even if your error message is not mentioned there. – Fabian Schmengler Apr 05 '16 at 08:38

move file

/app/code/core/Mage/Core/Model/Layout.php

to

/app/code/local/Mage/Core/Model/Layout.php

and change code at line no 555.

$out .= $this->getBlock($callback[0])->$callback[1]();

to

$out .= $this->getBlock($callback[0])->{$callback[1]}();
