Install problem - Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated;

   Everything works on a localhost install, but when I try install on dreamhost I get the following error:

   Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated; If you would like to pass it by reference, modify the declaration of [runtime function name](). If you would like to enable call-time pass-by-reference, you can set allow_call_time_pass_reference to true in your INI file in /bb-includes/backpress/functions.core.php on line 499

   The message stays on the top of page, above header, seems that I can use everything but the message stays there. How can I get ride of this.

   Ok, just to let you know.

   I tried a latest stable version (0.9.0.2) install and got no errors... only occurs with the alpha release.

   Help plz.

   if you want to modify the files to fix the problem, remove the & symbol from within the line it's complaining about:

   /bb-includes/backpress/functions.core.php on line 499

   Thanks your attention Balgo, but I didn't do that cause I want to developers help me to understand the problem. I don't wanna just edit the file and maybe be messing something worse.

   Should this edit be really necessary, is inoffensive? Is there something wrong with the code? With the server?

   I know is not a stable version, problems is expected... I just want to understand this one.

   Guys,

   Something really strange in this problem, only happens when I do a SVN install.

   Errors to:
   svn co http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress/tags/1.0-alpha-1/ .
   svn co http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress/trunk/ .

   But if I download (wget) latest.zip or latest-alpha.zip extract and install it will work without the mentioned error. omg --confused--

   Joel, did you do a diff on the two different directories to see what might have changed?

   this is a minor issue the developers should fix, but if you'd like to learn more, google for that php error ("Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated").. it's a php-specific problem, and as such, there's lots of dialogue about it floating around..

    This is new to the trunk... it is introduce by the function...

    function backpress_convert_object( &$object, $output ) {}

    Which was new since the alpha drop.

    (sorry for the duplicate ticket, I just deleted mine)

    @chrishajer: I didn't the diff cause I'm starting over with the forum - no data to care. So after the error comes I just removed all files and elimI searched and inated all tables from database. I should make some tests and take the diff.

    @balgo: Yes, is a php error, but is called from a script in functions.core.php. There's no results relevant to actual versions of bbpress neither functions.core file.

    @zappoman: What let me really confused, please correct me if I'm wrong, is that I got error installing from "svn co http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress/tags/1.0-alpha-1/" but had no errors with a installations from "bbPress 1.0 Alpha (latest-alpha.zip)" in the download page. Since is tagged, is the same package right?

    Thanks all your attention guys.

    The diff between functions.core.php from the working install (without errors - latest-alpha.zip) and functions.core.php from the trunk directory (in this install I see the error message) .

    A diff recursive from the root directory of both installs gave me a lot of output so I focused only in this file. I made a backup of the "problematic" file and overwrote it with the working (from the latest) so I got no more erros.

    I made this just to test, I know we should not mix files from different verionos

    $ diff ./bb-tag/bb-includes/backpress/functions.core.php ./bb-trunk/bb-includes/backpress/functions.core.php
    494a495,507
    >
    > function backpress_convert_object( &$object, $output ) {
    > if ( is_array( $object ) ) {
    > foreach ( array_keys( $object ) as $key )
    > backpress_convert_object( &$object[$key], $output );
    > } else {
    > switch ( $output ) {
    > case OBJECT : break;
    > case ARRAY_A : $object = get_object_vars($object); break;
    > case ARRAY_N : $object = array_values(get_object_vars($object)); break;
    > }
    > }
