This should be mentioned in the documentation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-01-16 02:33:30] david at ethos-consulting dot com 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 this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=47121&edit=1
