Hi again from an "ordinary user"! This thread has some opponents sharpening their knives in the corners. Hey guys, cool down! It's only ones and zeroes! ;-)
First of all let's find some agreements points: - I think most of you agree that it was a bigger problem fixing it with warning in PHP4 than it was in PHP5. - Not fixing it was out of question because it caused memory corruption. Some time ago there were default options in the php.ini that are considered very harmful nowadays (register_globals etc) but they are still there, just carefully defaulting to off. See the similarities? If some people just want to use it this way the put in an option: unstored_references = NOTICE|IMPLICIT_TEMP_STORE So people relying on using it the old way can just switch it to automagically assigning a temp variable inbetween (or is this standard procedure since 4.4? Then just allow to switch the log level for such events.). On a side note it would help people if there was a possibility to run all kinds of PHP versons as Apache module in parallel which nowadays has to be done by patching the sources. Some PHP coders don't like the CGI variant and prefer the module and just for the sake of using the module they resign to doing all stuff with a single PHP version. Being able to run a 4.3.10 module in parallel with a 4.4 module and choosing the one to use on a per-directory-basis via .htaccess could calm a lot of voices.
