[Refdb-users] Fatal error: Call-time pass-by-reference has been removed in /usr/local/share/refdb/www/index.php on line 1531

[O. H. <oha...@ze...>]

A couple of days ago all of our FreeBSD boxes where forced to update
their ports recompiling all PNG dependencies.

After those updates, on ALL of our boxes providing the RefDB
webinterface, this webinterface, PHP5, has been gone.

I put one of the servers via php.ini into "development" mode reporting
errors, since the servers in questions do show a white page with nothing
otherwise.

I get this:

Fatal error: Call-time pass-by-reference has been removed in
/usr/local/share/refdb/www/index.php on line 1531

The line in question seems to refer to YAZ:

if (!yaz_ccl_parse($id[$i], $term, &$cclresult)) {
... }

I tried to recompile refdb via
portmaster -f refdb

as well as PHP

portmaster -f php5-5

but there is no solution doing it that way.

Since RefDB worked fine before, I guess this is a unconvenience brought
in by the port's updating orgy.
