I've never understood the warning that switch throws: bjori@lindsay:~$ php -dallow_call_time_pass_reference=0 -r 'strpos(&$var, 0);' Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated; If you would like to pass it by reference, modify the declaration of strpos(). 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 Command line code on line 1 However, turning it on will not throw any warning or deprecated notice, wtf? I'd say throw the warning if the switch is on and someone does call-time-pass-by-reference and turn that switch off by default. -Hannes
