Web based Sugar needs sweetening

[MidNiteRaver]

I have Sugar CRM (latest) installed on web hosting server. I checked in my CGI error log and there I found the following. This happens when I access a users account and even without changing hit save.

Can anyone guide me as to what the problem is and a possible solution? Thanks


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 [runtime function name](). If you would like to enable call-time pass-by-reference, you can set allow_call_time_pass_reference to true in your INI file. However, future versions may not support this any longer. in /hermes/web02/b2770/ey.mmarch1/sugarcrm/modules/Users/Save.php on line 120

2 options.
1)Go in the file and changing the code.
2)Go on the php.ini and set to true.

Actualy, you could also set it ONLY for your sugarCRM install by setting a php_value in your .htaccess file. See apache / PHP documentation for more info.

my web host's engineers say they will set 'allow_call_time_pass_reference' to ON if possible.

I note from the error message that future versions may not support "allow_call_time..." what does this really mean? Is this a big issue or simply that when I upgrade to a version that does not support "allow_call_time_...." that i simply have to change back the setting to OFF.

Was there an easier way to get this thing to work and not cause any problems with future versions?

The htaccess file solution sounds interesting but to read up on APACHE... I am a lowly Products Manager for a small family medical supply business. I just have an interest in computers/software and know the value of information and quick access to it. I am their IT. I know nothing about APACHE except that it runs on most of the computers on the www (or seems to). To read up on it would be waaaaay over my head I'm afraid. I love software but my love is greater than my knowledge I'm afraid. Your guidance would be appreciated on what steps I should take to fix the problem using your htaccess solution.

??? I really am hoping for a response. My web host has done the change and all seems fine but i don't want any suprises.

Basically SugarCRM will have to be modified before the next version of PHP is released to make sure that these functions do not pose a problem in the future. This means that your webserver should not update the version of PHP running on the webserver until this site says that SugarCRM supports versions of PHP later than the version being installed.

As long as they don't update PHP, you will have no problems at all.

For now, don't worry about it. I sure didn't.
