Description
Trying out Drupal 5.9.
I installed jquery update 5.x-2.x and enabled it which is the prereq for WYMEditor 5.x.2.0 I believe.
Then installed WYMEditor 5.x.2.0 and enabled it.
Then received the following PHP warning:
Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated; 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 in C:\Web\WebServer\Apache22\htdocs\Drupal59\sites\all\modules\wymeditor\wymeditor.module on line 169
Can anyone shed light on this? I guess recent version of PHP may have changed a little?
Thanks

I had this same issue and I determined the problem...
I quote this guy:
As such, go to line 169 of your wymeditor.module file and remove the ampersand from this line:
_wymeditor_input_format_alter(&$form[$key]);It should then look like:
_wymeditor_input_format_alter($form[$key]);And you are set. This should probably be a bug that gets fixed but I am not sure how to go about making that happen. Glad it was simple enough to fix anyhow.

Lovely. Thanks for the tip :)

I just hit this bug in wymeditor when moving my site from dev to live server, a whole section of the site white-screened :)
The full error message from apache's error log:
This is on a server running debian etch, using the php package 5.2.0-8+etch13. It seems nonsensical to re-enable a deprecated feature when the fix is so trivial.
Attached is a patch for wymeditor 5.2, from browsing cvs it looks like this code has been re-written for the 6.x-dev version.

and of course the patch...[sighs]
