LC Script in PHP File

Hi, I am in the process of putting a web app together using the UserFrosting system as a starting point. I am slowly getting the hang of the framework and am now wishing to start using LC Server to do some backend crunching to render the pages. (Im not picking up PHP as fast as I hoped!) The U

any use of pass by reference breaks any omitted variable?

Pass by reference *should* be something useful, but it seems half done. I have various handlers with optional parameters. It seems that if *any* parameter is passed by reference, omitting any variable causes a runtime error -- Dr. Richard E. Hawkins, Esq. (702) 508-8462
