That probably means your error-reporting level has changed, since that
warning has been around for some time (since at least 4.0.6 to my certain
knowledge).

Simply remove the & -- in fact, you never needed it as the definition of the
OCIFetchInto() function itself specifies that the second argument must be
passed by reference. The description of OCIFetchInto() in the PHP manual
as:
int OCIFetchInto ( int stmt, array & result [, int mode])
corresponds to a PHP function defined like this:
function OCIFetchInto ( stmt, &result, mode=OCI_NUM)
{
...
}
so the result parameter is *always* passed by reference, whether or not you
put a reference in the call. This define-time call by reference is *not*
deprecated, and indeed was recommended as the preferred way even before
call-time pass by reference was deprecated.
Cheers!
