Re: Fatal error: Call-time pass-by-reference has been removed in /usr/local/share/refdb/www/index.php on line 1531

Hi,

as far as I can see this problem is caused by a change between PHP 5.3  
and 5.4 regarding the mechanism how variables are passed by reference.  
I do not have a PHP interface up and running at this time, so the  
following is untested. Could you please check whether the following  
change in /usr/local/share/refdb/www/index.phpfixes the problem? The  
line in question is 1786 in my sources, although you mention 1531  
instead.

- if (!yaz_ccl_parse($id[$i], $term, &$cclresult)) {
+ if (!yaz_ccl_parse($id[$i], $term, $cclresult)) {

(note the missing ampersand). According to what I read about this  
issue on the web, PHP should be able to figure out by itself how to  
pass the variable appropriately, and the syntax using the ampersand  
has been removed in PHP 5.4.

regards,
Markus
