#47121 [NEW]: Cannot suppress warnings for "Call-time pass by reference is deprecated"

From: david at ethos-consulting dot com Operating system: MacOS X 10.5.6 PHP version: 5.2.8 PHP Bug Type: PHP options/info functions Bug description: Cannot suppress warnings for "Call-time pass by reference is deprecated" Description: ------------ I have a legacy PHP4 application running under PHP5 with additional components built in Zend Framework. Several of the legacy classes utilize call-time pass-by-reference when invoking their methods, for historical reasons, which is deprecated behavior in PHP5 and displays a message of level E_WARNING, appropriately: Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated; If you would like to pass it by reference, modify the declaration of [runtime function name](). If you would like to enable call-time pass-by-reference, you can set allow_call_time_pass_reference to true in your INI file in /path/to/script.php on line ## I have set and confirmed the error reporting bitmask at 6133 (all minus E_NOTICE and E_WARNING) via .htaccess directives (php_value) and PHP's error_reporting() function. However, I continue to see the warning message on my local development machine. Setting the prescribed ini setting seems to be the only way to suppress the warnings. Are these not regular E_WARNING level messages? Reproduce code: --------------- <?php error_reporting(6133); function something ( $argument ) { echo 'I do nothing...'; } // END something $variable = '123'; something(&$variable); Expected result: ---------------- I do nothing... Actual result: -------------- Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated; If you would like to pass it by reference, modify the declaration of [something](). If you would like to enable call-time pass-by-reference, you can set allow_call_time_pass_reference to true in your INI file in /path/to/script.php on line 11 -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=47121&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47121&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47121&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47121&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47121&r=fixedcvs Fixed in CVS and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47121&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47121&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47121&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47121&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47121&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47121&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47121&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47121&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47121&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47121&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47121&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47121&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47121&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47121&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47121&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47121&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47121&r=mysqlcfg
