Just a couple of lines instead of a couple of files? Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-05-23 04:14:24] taomyn@hotmail.com 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [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
