PHP version: 5.1.1
PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem
Bug description: Error with the return of an assignment
Description:
------------
With Horde 3.0.9 (in many places) on PHP 5.0.4, the following works:
if (class_exists($class)) {
return $ret = &new $class($params);
}
It fails on PHP 5.1.0 and PHP 5.1.1 with an error of
Notice: Only variable references should be returned by reference in ...on
line ...
However, the following does work:
if (class_exists($class)) {
$ret = &new $class($params);
return $ret;
}
Is this an error in PHP or Horde?
