Bug description: Fatal error: Only variables can be passed by reference with
array_shift
Description:
------------
Starting with PHP 5.1 beta #2 PHP dies with a
PHP Configuration:
'./configure' '--with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs'
'--with-pgsql=/usr/local/pgsql''--enable-ftp' '--with-zlib-dir=/usr'
'--with-config-file-path=/usr/local/apache2/conf'
'--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local'
PHP Versions: 5.1 BETA #2 and PHP 5.1 latest CVS
Reproduce code:
---------------
/**
* Returns the part of the filename before the .
* @param string $file
* @return string
*/
function GetBaseName($file)
{
if (empty($file)) {
return false;
}
// simplified, $file replaced with file.txt
return array_shift(explode('.', 'file.txt')));
}
Expected result:
----------------
The expected result is that PHP returns the portion of the filename before
the .,
Actual result:
--------------
Results in Fatal error: Only variables can be passed by reference
Error seems to have been introduced between beta 5.1 beta #1 and #2, it
works in PHP 4 as well as PHP 5.0.x and PHP 5.1 beta #1
