PHP Warnings after install

If all you want to do is disable these warnings you can set PHP not to display errors when executing. Configuring the ini setting display_errors, giving the value Off or 0 will disable errors being reported to the web brower. If you still want to keep a record of the errors then set:
log_errors = On
error_log = /tmp/php.log
and all errors get recorded to that file.

What version of PHP was used in the environment for this bug?

:) Hi Greg,
I was trying to get this information also, that should be a standard in
bug reporting policy (REQUIRED fields, and yes, we can change the
bugtracker's behavior)

presumably 5.3.0 +
As of PHP 5.3.0, you will get a warning saying that "call-time
pass-by-reference" is deprecatedwhen you use & in foo(&$a);

Basically in the function dec and the function call, & needs to be
removed....
It's a fairly easy fix, and I was considering doing it yesterday, think I
should proceed and push the code and you can merge it in?

Advise and input welcome,
Cheers,
Charles

I was about to promote sahana as a proof of concept project but i cannot
present it with these warnings popping up....
Is there a more stable release that I can use, that would not display
these
warnings? Please advise...

Ahh yes, a commonly recurring warning with 5.3.0+ systems. It's the reason why I merged a new version of ADODB into the trunk a while back.

Sure thing, just pass along the diff.
