Summary: ADODB warning

Initial Comment:
Hi,

After downloading, installing and configuring phpesp 2.1.1 I am encountering this problem (displaying in almost every page one or more times):

Notice: Only variable references should be returned by reference in /home/www/site/Ready/Survey/admin/include/lib/adodb/drivers/adodb-mysql.inc.php on line 75

I have searched the net to see if there is any reports on this and how to fix it and figured out that this comes from ADODB library.

Within ADODB community a discussion can be found about this problem and it seems that it is connected to the warning generated by php 4.4.0 in order to clean the code for php5. It seems that newer version of ADODB is available that resolves this problem. But my concern here is if I upgrade to newer ADODB is it going to break the code of PHPESP.

Questions are:

1. Shall I upgrade ADODB library? or

2. Is there a way to suppress these warning as it seems that warning is not critical to functioning?

Adodb libs are included in phpesp. If you get your installed version out
of the search path, it would all be ok. Btw: you should consider upgrading
php, not adodb ...
