My server is running PHP 5.3 and my WordPress install is spitting these errors out on me, causing my session_start[] to break.
Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /home//public_html/hub/wp-settings.php on line 647
Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /home//public_html/hub/wp-settings.php on line 662
Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /home//public_html/hub/wp-settings.php on line 669
Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /home//public_html/hub/wp-settings.php on line 676
Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /home//public_html/hub/wp-settings.php on line 712
This is annoying, but I do not want to turn off on screen error reporting. How do I disable these bothersome deprecated warnings?
I am running WordPress 2.9.2.

You can do it in code by calling the following functions.
error_reporting[E_ERROR | E_WARNING | E_PARSE | E_NOTICE];
or
error_reporting[E_ALL ^ E_DEPRECATED];

To only get those errors that cause the application to stop working, use:
error_reporting[E_ALL ^ [E_NOTICE | E_WARNING | E_DEPRECATED]];
This will stop showing notices, warnings, and deprecated errors.

I needed to adapt this to
error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED

I just faced a similar problem where a SEO plugin issued a big number of warnings making my blog disk use exceed the plan limit.
I found out that you must include the error_reporting command after the wp-settings.php require in the wp-config.php file:
require_once[ ABSPATH .'wp-settings.php' ];
error_reporting[ E_ALL ^ [ E_NOTICE | E_WARNING | E_DEPRECATED ] ];
by doing this no more warnings, notices nor deprecated lines are appended to your error log file!
Tested on WordPress 3.8 but I guess it works for every installation.

You have to edit the PHP configuration file. Find the line
error_reporting = E_ALL
and replace it with:
error_reporting = E_ALL ^ E_DEPRECATED
If you don't have access to the configuration file you can add this line to the PHP WordPress file [maybe headers.php]:
error_reporting[E_ALL ^ E_DEPRECATED];

All the previous answers are correct. Since no one have hinted out how to turn off all errors in PHP, I would like to mention it here:
error_reporting[0]; // Turn off warning, deprecated,
// notice everything except error
Somebody might find it useful...

In file wp-config.php you can find constant WP_DEBUG. Make sure it is set to false.
define['WP_DEBUG', false];
This is for WordPress 3.x.

I tend to use this method
$errorlevel=error_reporting[];
$errorlevel=error_reporting[$errorlevel & ~E_DEPRECATED];
In this way I do not turn off accidentally something I need

this error occur when you change your php version: it's very simple to suppress this error message
To suppress the DEPRECATED Error message, just add below code into your index.php file:
init_set['display_errors',False];
