They were already shooting them in the foot by using references wrong... and you did have about a month to test your code (Horde I presume) with the new PHP 4.4 release candidates. And it's just a notice... which you should always have off on a production machine. So I don't think we should put a BIG warning on php.net because people didn't quite understand how references worked (me included). regards, Derick -- Derick Rethans http://derickrethans.nl | http://ez.no | http://xdebug.org -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
