We found this out the hard way yesterday when our server administrator
upgraded our production server to PHP 4.4.0 (even though the Debian package
description said it was a PHP 4.3.x release). We ended up with hundreds of
errors and many, many vhosts stopped working correctly due to "variable
references should be returned by reference" problems, both in my code and in
third-party code, such as PHPBB instances.
Uhm, they're only notices - they shouldn't show up at the website in
production, now should they?
Derick, can you show me where I said that they showed up on the website?
And now I read that this will not be "fixed" in future PHP4 releases due to
breaking backwards compatibility? I just don't understand... a change that
breaks backwards compatibility in a large portion of the existing PHP4 code
base will not be fixed because it breaks backwards compatibility? It's doing
my head in, please can someone explain?
PHP 4 is not going to change the behavior anymore.
Sorry, but that doesn't really answer my question.
Regards,
Colin.
