Hi Mike,

Nice to see you :)

I also got this error when i used php 5.2.6. I've posted in the forums 
and this is a repeat of that for reference.

Xaraya works fine on php 5.2.5 on nix (at least ubuntu, freebsd, and a 
few others), windows and macosx for me.

However the few systems i've tested on in 5.2.6, xaraya dies as 
described. Looks like 2 types of errors to me.

Setting E_ERROR & ~E_NOTICE for reporting can get us through a few 
problems evident for example in installer on php 5.2.6, for instance 
with an unset var (tplData) but this is different to the error that 
kills the site, which is due to recursion.

Take the odd construct [in xarTemplate.php at xarTpl__execute]:

$tplData['_bl_data'] = $tplData;

It seems treatment of this assignment has changed - at least the error 
level in 5.2.6.

The assignment as it is results in recursion and kills xaraya as 
described. $tplData can be a an empty array or non empty array passed 
into that function (xarTpl__execute) but it will still fail at that 
assignment.

So we can fix it easy enough for now:

$temp = $tplData;
$tplData['_bl_data']=$temp;

or
  tplData['_bl_data'] = &$tplData; should also work.
