[Phpwebsite-developers] PHP 4 behaviour change

[Shaun M. <sh...@ae...>]

I'm more than slightly concerned by a change in behaviour in php 4.4.  
It's a change in the rules on returning by reference.

Greg's noted it in http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php? 
func=detail&aid=1548098&group_id=15539&atid=115539 although that's  
down as php 4.3. It does however highlight where we use that kind of  
syntax.

There's more info from the the Gallery developers at http:// 
codex.gallery2.org/index.php/Gallery2:FAQ#I_get_. 
22Notice:_Only_variable_references_should_be_returned_by_reference_in_.2 
2.2C_what.27s_wrong.3F

and some correct and incorrect examples at http://gallery.menalto.com/ 
node/33076

I'm not suffering this issue but I guess that could be because I've a  
later Zend Optimizer installed than the buggy one mentioned.

It affects phpWebSite and more ominously the PEAR library.


Any ideas?
