Bug #17340 Updated: sscanf function requires "call by reference"

ID: 17340 Updated by: taomyn@hotmail.com Reported By: taomyn@hotmail.com Status: Feedback Bug Type: Compile Warning Operating System: Windows 2000 PHP Version: 4.2.1 New Comment: I have e-mailed you the code - the function is called within functions.php You're probably right, in that the code is now wrong, but if that's the case, then the online documentation for sscanf is also wrong. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-05-22 03:08:00] sander@php.net I think you're doing something wrong... can you provide a simple & self-contained sample script? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-05-21 14:36:24] taomyn@hotmail.com When using the sscanf function, the complier warns that "Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated - argument passed by value; If you would like to pass it by reference, modify the declaration of sscanf()" etc etc Apparently, sscanf requires the use of call-by reference to work - or is the online manual wrong? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=17340&edit=1
