Unhappy Bug, please help

I am getting this message:

Fatal error: Only variables can be passed by reference in /home/users/knobend/public_html/geek/gars/includes/gars_class_core.php on line 1623

This is when I click to see a list of other articles.

the code in question:

PHP Code:
function snip_and_parse(&$text$readmore 0)
    {
        
$text $this->parse_bbcode($this->prep_for_broken_tags(fetch_trimmed_title($text250)));
        
$readmore strlen($text)  > 240 $text "... <a href='showthread.php?t=$readmore'><strong>More</strong></a>" "" "";
        return 
$text;
    } 
How do I fix that?

Thanks

Upgrade to a later release (ie DNEG) that was fixed awhile ago.

I just upgraded and followed all the instructions. Same problem. Does PHP5 have anything to do with it? Becuase it worked fine on the other server it used to be on.

Maybe I am missing something.

Thanks.

it is a PHP5 issue, however that code isnt called like that anymore and hasnt been for awhile. Can you double check that you indeed overwrote your gars_class_core.php file? Maybe its cached or something?

depends on what your using - ie EA, turk, whatever. Not really my area of expertise. All I know is that my php cache system gave me a headache trying to upload files from time to time.

All I know is that function call doesnt exist anymore. Especially if your getting it dieing on the same line number - thats a dead giveaway the old file is still being used.

HTHs

Okay, I deleted all the files and reuploaded them. Same thing... strange indeed.

I uninstalled the script, and am using vbPortals for now until I can figure it out.

Can you get me the file size and date of the geek_gars_class_core.php file in your forums/geek/gars/includes folder?
Heck, for that matter can you get the version number and file date from the header by opening the file up?

Thanks!
