More of the > same 'Only variables can be * by reference' that we're used to. Uhm, if it were a E_NOTICE - no problem. But this breaks PHP 5.0.x and therefore many existing appliations (I assume mediawiki is one of the most popular and famous of PHP applications). If this new 'fatal error' behaviour gets into PHP 5.0.5, you'll have to warn the users that their applications could break, because something like nested array function calls is IMHO very common. Correct me if I'm wrong. Thx. soenke
