PHP Upgrade to 5.6 giving Error in file "phpseclib\File\X509.php"

[Hanumantagouda]

Hi,

I have tried to upgrade my php5.6 to php5.6 and found the below Errors when i run PhpCodeSniffer against my code. I have a fear that this being an ERROR will stop execution and throw an error. Please help me.

Also, FYI I have the latest phpseclib

4150 | ERROR | Using a call-time pass-by-reference is prohibited since php 5.4
4176 | ERROR | Using a call-time pass-by-reference is prohibited since php 5.4
4243 | ERROR | Using a call-time pass-by-reference is prohibited since php 5.4
4315 | ERROR | Using a call-time pass-by-reference is prohibited since php 5.4

Your help is appretiated.

Regards,
Hanumantagouda

A few things.

1. You should post this here:

https://github.com/phpseclib/phpseclib/issues

There's an active community of people there - not so much here.

1. The line numbers aren't really matching up.

At the time of this post the latest version of 0.3.10 and line 4150 doesn't even have an ampersand in it:

https://github.com/phpseclib/phpseclib/blob/0.3.10/phpseclib/File/X509.php#L4150

But maybe you're referring to the latest git version in the 1.0 branch? The last commit to File/X509.php was on July 17, which is before your post. But 4150 there doesn't even have an ampersand in it:

https://github.com/phpseclib/phpseclib/blob/2013a31ecd70fc37c5413c4379b8a32922cbae26/phpseclib/File/X509.php#L4150

You're obvously not referring to the master branch either:

https://github.com/phpseclib/phpseclib/blob/d9e9504fbacc20502e4b456891b6f310e8022e91/phpseclib/File/X509.php#L4150
