This might have something to do with it. From the php.ini: allow_call_time_pass_reference = Off ; whether to enable the ability to force arguments to be ; passed by reference at function-call time. This method ; is deprecated, and is likely to be unsupported in future ; versions of PHP/Zend. The encouraged method of specifying ; which arguments should be passed by reference is in the ; function declaration. You're encouraged to try and ; turn this option Off, and make sure your scripts work ; properly with it, to ensure they will work with future ; versions of the language (you will receive a warning ; each time you use this feature, and the argument will ; be passed by value instead of by reference). -- Jason Stechschulte jpstech@unoh.edu -- If you want to see useful Perl examples, we can certainly arrange to have comp.lang.misc flooded with them, but I don't think that would help the advance of civilization. :-) -- Larry Wall in <1992Mar5.180926.19041@netlabs.com>
