OK, I've never used the ncurse functions before, but cursory glance at the manual results in the following observations: > What does the following mean: > > PHP Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated - argument > passed by value; If you would like to pass it by reference, modify the > declaration of ncurses_getmaxyx().

That bit of the documentation could be made clearer. It should probably say something along the lines of "... the variables *will* be passed by reference ...". I'm assuming that the function definition has defined $y & $x to be passed by reference. > Any help would be appreciated. I suggest you start by giving some dimensions to your window and possibly some borders as well. -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * ------------------------------------------ Search the list archives before you post http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general ------------------------------------------ New Year Resolution: Ignore top posted posts -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
