New Comment:
Any idea yet if this will be fixed/addressed or should we start
converting scripts to not use referenced return type or build variables
that get returned?

I have the same problem with PHP5 snap 200307240730, PEAR DB will not
work, as many functions has "&" in front of them. So a "return new
DB_Result" does not work.
Mayby this should only be a "notice" instead of a "fatal" error.

Yes, it is quite complicated. You can only return variables by
reference, a function's return value is not something we can 'connect'
to...

If you do it like this it works:
class TextSanitizer
{
function &htmlSpecialChars($text) {
$foo = preg_replace("/&/i", '&', htmlspecialchars($text,
ENT_QUOTES));
return $foo;
}
}
So would it really be *that* hard to make it work?

It never really worked (caused memory corruption).
Unlikely to be changed, since it doesn't make sense, but we'll see.

Actually this is not a bug, but just another BC break, but a pretty
huge one. I think it's too much of a problem not to address it.
