Description
i think some mention should be made of this in the project page, otherwise you will keep getting support requests for "white screen of death", "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '=', expecting ')' in /var/www/vhosts/howdidyoumakethat.com/httpdocs/sites/all/modules/vocabindex/vocabindex.view.inc on line 425", etc.
it's a shame, this is the only module i've ever tried that doesn't work with php 4 and i'd love to use it.
#1
I have come to think this is indeed a PHP4 incompatibility problem, but so far I've seen no hard evidence. On the other hand, PHP4 is very old and although Drupal core supports it, it would be very wise to upgrade to PHP5.
#2
It is old, but unfortunately it comes as standard on my host's set-up.
#3
I can confirm this is a PHP4 issue, see Note: As of PHP 5, default values may be passed by reference. at php.net.
#4
Vocabulary Index is still incompatible with PHP 4, but requirement checks now prevent it from being installed if PHP 5 is not available.
If you are still using PHP 4 I strongly recommend you to upgrade. PHP 5 is five years old and the last update ever for PHP 4 has been released last August.
