Upgrading to 5.3.2 doesn't solve the issue, running the following softwares: FreeBSD 8/Nginx/MediaWiki 1.15.4 Any call to a Mediawiki extension fails on the following error: <Parameter n to xxx expected to be a reference, value given in yyy> Downgrading to 5.2 is actually the only way to get rid of this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-06-06 19:04:27] pajoye@php.net Mediawiki is wrong in their comments. There is a regression which was fixed in 5.3.2, so upgrade to 5.3.2 is the right way to do it. No need of further comments tho', the issue is fixed. Thanks for your feedbacks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-06-06 18:55:37] PandoraBox2007 at gmail dot com install-utils.inc set comments /* $test = new PhpRefCallBugTester; $test->execute(); if ( !$test->ok ) { echo "PHP 5.3.1 is not compatible with MediaWiki due to a bug involving\n" .
