PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem
Bug description: Fatal error: Only variables can be passed by reference in...
Description:
------------
I found this bug twice.
It always worked before, but with PHP 5.1RC1 and 5.0.5 these two scripts
don't work:
In script I developed (you can see the function that cause error in the
code below).
The error is:
Fatal error: Only variables can be passed by reference in ...
I found this bug in phpBB (last version) too, in the same server, when I
try to post. This is the error:
Fatal error: Only variables can be passed by reference in
C:\[...]\forum\posting.php on line 555
I'm using Windows XP Pro SP2, Apache2, PHP 5.0.5 (but this bug is in
5.1.0RC1 too). PHP is running as CLI
Reproduce code:
---------------
This is a code I wrote:
// Get filename and extension
function get_filename_parts($file)
{
$extension = end(explode(".", $file));
$filename = substr($file, 0, -(strlen($extension)+1) );
return array($filename, $extension);
}
Now it works:
// Get filename and extension
function get_filename_parts($file)
{
$split = explode(".", $file);
$extension = end($split);
$filename = substr($file, 0, -(strlen($extension)+1) );
return array($filename, $extension);
}
