arfa Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Going back to an old script after upgrading to php5... This is not my code - PEAR.PHP - used as part of a backup script I wrote/modded ___________________ The relevant comment in the script * IMPORTANT! To use the emulated destructors you need to create the * objects by reference: $obj =& new PEAR_child; _________________ The error msg in the browser Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in C:\Program Files\EasyPHP-5.3\www\brama\backup\PEAR.php on line 562 Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in C:\Program Files\EasyPHP-5.3\www\brama\backup\PEAR.php on line 565 __________________ The relevant code line in the script. if ($skipmsg) { 562 $a = & new $ec($code, $mode, $options, $userinfo); return $a; } else { 565 $a = & new $ec($message, $code, $mode, $options, $userinfo); return $a; } I have had a few blips going to ver5 but this one I can't seem to rectify. Any leads welcome. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
