I get the following error after upgrading to the beta6 version, totally crippling my site:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '&', expecting T_VARIABLE or '$' in /var/www/virtual/lancefestivalen.se/htdocs/modules/contribs/content_taxonomy/content_taxonomy.module on line 434

What does it mean and what can I do about it?

Title: Error on upgrade to beta6 from beta5 » Error on upgrade to beta6 from beta5 (php 4 only)
Status: Active » Fixed

This error occurs only when using php 4, for php 5 it's working fine.
&$value (line 434) is not allowed in php4. I committed the fix to the dev branch, so that content taxonomy is working with php 4 and php 5 now.

I think your fix prevents the unsetting of tag vocabularies used in content taxonomy fields. I've not verified but I used the reference for that case.

I'm not sure if the '&' is necessary, I've tried without and it does work.
Additionally, I replaced $value with $form[$key] when calling _content_taxonomy_taxonomy_unset in the foreach loop.
I'm pretty sure, that this solution is working, but maybe you find time for a short test and report back :)

I have just downloaded the latest version and I got the same error when I installed the module. Could you confirm if beta6 is working on php4 too?

Please don't reopen issues. The patch was applied to the dev branch, and no release has been made since beta6.
