It’s because you’re using a modern version of PHP with strict standards. You may be able to make the code work by making the declaration:

public static function assign($var, $value)

However judging by the other errors you’ll run into many problems. You can try disabling strict standards but it’d be best to upgrade to a modern version of Smarty.
