[FX.php List] [FM API] PHP and API version issues...

[Steve Winter]

Hey John and Joel,

It was the references to the API's use of the deprecated pass by reference that I was meaning, and was wondering which version of PHP it was that this became an issue in...

I can confirm that it hasn't been addressed in FM11 which would tend to support John's theory that it's not changed...! shame really since this was an issue long before 11 was released...

Cheers
Steve
