There has been an awful lot of spam lately. I wish we could restrict the
list so that only subscribers could post. That would solve this problem
entirely. (I've changed my mind: Can we start the process for changing
the owner of the list?)

I think it's not the case that most questions to the list go unanswered.
I count only three which weren't answered during November. And most of
questions in the help forum are answered.

I didn't realize that no one had responded to your question. The problem
you had has been fixed in CVS for three weeks; the fix will appear in the
next release. If you want to stop the warnings yourself, you can edit three
of the files in lib/DbSession: SQL.php, PDO.php, and dba.php. Go to the CVS
repository web interface

   http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/phpwiki/phpwiki/lib/DbSession/

and look at the diffs for SQL.php, dba.php, and ADODB.php to see what
changed. Or, just replace

   function _connect() {
 
with
   
   function & _connect() {

and
   
   $dbh = &$this->_connect();

with

   $dbh = $this->_connect();

everywhere you find them in these three files. If that isn't sufficient,
please let me know.

So you think we should just give up, then?
