Thomas Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-06-10 04:47:57] zigo FYI: I tried to get the pkg-php team involved, but it didn't work, as you can see. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-06-01 19:12:32] caribou @zigo, I didn't notice you wrote "if you like" in your comment. I would very much enjoy a way of fixing this issue on debian; so if you can contact them, please do. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-05-27 21:37:44] caribou Correcting the erig is easy: preg_match function works in both PHP4 and PHP 5.3. The patch I sumbitted earlier takes care of this warning. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-05-27 10:10:23] zigo That might be correct for returning a value as reference. However, testing against the PHP version for choosing eregi preg_match WILL work. I will involve the Debian pkg-php-pear team if you like, so that they can find a solution for the returning a reference issue. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-05-26 23:48:19] caribou @zigo: I just tried the following. file test2.php: if (false) $a =& new A(); file test.php: error_reporting(E_ALL); require_once 'test2.php'; I get a warning for deprecated return value of new. In this case the warning is not for the function but for the use of "=& new". So the patch I submit won't work. :-( If you find a way, please tell me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
