PHP 4 deprecated a feature called call-time pass-by-reference. Unfortunately, the developers of PHP deprecated the feature without making appropriate alternatives available, so the net result is that, under PHP 4, some things are literally impossible to do without using call-time pass-by-reference even though it's deprecated. Even parts of the PHP manual use the deprecated feature since it's impossible not to. This library requires that call-time pass-by-reference be enabled.

so i have also tried to use htaccess

Code:

---

php_flag allow_call_time_pass_reference 1

---

from http://www.verysimple.com/support/viewtopic.php?p=415&
But it returnded me Internet Server Error 500.


I have also tried to remove "&" sign but it didn't solve the problem.




So could you help me with this problem ?
What is its solution?

Thank You.

You can also try putting this above the code in question:

PHP Code:

---

ini_set('allow_call_time_pass_reference', 1); 


---

This will only set it for that script until it's done executing.
