can somebody comment on this? L. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: BOGAS: Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference Date: Wed, 10 Nov 2010 18:08:30 +0300 From: Alexander Osypov <aosypov@gmail.com> To: Lieven Sterck <lieven.sterck@psb.vib-ugent.be> Dear Lieven, After I installed Bogas on my new system on the notebook, it issued many commentaries looking like this: "Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in<filename>" After googling I've found that it's because in the current last version of php the construction like $something =& new Something_else(); with the ampersand is deprecated. And the cake (and some Bogas staff) is full of them. adding "& ~E_DEPRECATED" to "error_reporting(E_ALL)" helps the situation now: error_reporting(E_ALL& ~E_DEPRECATED); but beware of it - it may be not in the future. Think of fixing it in your code and switching to a new Cake. Yours truly, ao P.S. how about the full Bogas file to make a direct link to a locus page?
