drupal error

webghost commented 26 July 2009 at 16:07

This is a drupal error u can supress this error by replace
call_user_func_array($function, $args);
by
@call_user_func_array($function, $args);
I think they will fix this problem in drupal 7

Drupal error

bnysten commented 7 August 2009 at 08:20

I did the modification. The errors do not show up anymore... but I get a blank page... I don't have access to my account details. I just have the two buttons "Save" & "Delete"

Hey Nysten

Blake Peshek commented 24 April 2012 at 16:09

Did you end up getting this issue resolved? I'm also getting the blank page. I just have the "Save & Delete" buttons. Your help/info would be much appreciated.

Drupal 6 does not support PHP

nevets commented 25 August 2009 at 14:52

Drupal 6 does not support PHP 5.3. There are a number of discussions about it, some include patches.

yep, download wamp php 5.2.9

t4him commented 25 August 2009 at 15:44

use your wamp control panel and download php version 5.2.9. All of your problems will go away.

Thanks lads its fixed. I

RonnieD commented 26 August 2009 at 09:38

Thanks lads its fixed. I downloaded Xampp 1.7.1 becasue i had 1.7.2 downloaded. However when goin to localhost/drupal i found a SQL error..
root@localhost Password Yes
my password wasnt set as Yes in my settings.php so i went into PhpMyadmin and went to the drupal database-privilages and went down to the change password section where i changed it to the password i set the settings.php to. Hope this helps people.
And GoodNight ha :)

Actually no it wont let me

RonnieD commented 26 August 2009 at 10:13

Actually no it wont let me into the PhpMyadmin now..
SQL error..cannot connect: invalid settings.

I have exactly the same

m-t commented 26 August 2009 at 13:20

I have exactly the same problem. During the installation of Drupal 6.13 I got the same error:

"warning: Parameter 3 to block_user() expected to be a reference, value given in C:\xampplite\htdocs\drupal\includes\module.inc on line 450."

This is the WAMP configuration I used:
xampplite-win32-1.7.2

If this bug is due to a wrong PHP version, does someone know how to update xampp?

Thanks in advance
mt

Well what i did was download

RonnieD commented 26 August 2009 at 13:29

Well what i did was download xampp 1.7.1. From what i can gather it works the same as 1.7.2. So id recommend downloading 1.7.1 and working from there.

Thanks

m-t commented 26 August 2009 at 13:59

I tried your suggestion and it worked. Thanks for that! I hope that this kind of versioning problem will disappear in the upcoming releases.

Have a nice day

try this

ask commented 7 October 2009 at 20:57

It tells clearly that there should be the reference, not value.

I tried changing into this:
return call_user_func_array($function, &$args);

You can see extra ampersand. It seems to work as expected.

works

commented 19 October 2009 at 08:37

this works for me too

that's great! it works for me

kambrian commented 16 September 2010 at 02:37

that's great! it works for me as well.
It also applies to a similar problem in theme.inc, by modifying the same function call.
And a bonus is that the status report page shows up again after fixing that theme.inc problem.

yep - that work perfect

michael.lee.baker@gmail.com commented 9 February 2011 at 04:41

wow - one little '&' fixed everything

This worked perfectly

johanbackman commented 6 May 2011 at 21:36

Had the same problem as described above, no access to user account.
This little "&" fixed the problem.

Many thanks!
Johan

Works perfectly! I'm so glad

miphol commented 13 June 2012 at 00:14

Works perfectly! I'm so glad I checked this thread before downgrading php to 5.2.

WOW.. Problem is Solved

purna_dey commented 13 June 2012 at 06:37

Problem was:

Parameter 2 to boost_user() expected to be a reference, value given module.inc:450 [warning]
Parameter 2 to content_profile_user() expected to be a reference, value given module.inc:450 [warning]
Parameter 3 to block_user() expected to be a reference, value given module.inc:450 [warning]
Parameter 2 to blog_user() expected to be a reference, value given module.inc:450 [warning]
Parameter 3 to comment_user() expected to be a reference, value given module.inc:450 [warning]
Parameter 2 to contact_user() expected to be a reference, value given module.inc:450

When i m change the line

return call_user_func_array($function, $args);

return call_user_func_array($function, &$args);

in module.inc.
It's amazing work.

Thanks a lot!

Changing core is a bad

nevets commented 13 June 2012 at 13:35

Changing core is a bad practice, you should really fix the calling function

I am having similar problem,

ursika commented 17 March 2010 at 12:49

I am having similar problem, but in menu.inc line 415.

I get this problem on many different admin settings pages, usually very random, in some cases once I refresh the page the error is gone, but in other cases I get WSOD. Here are some pages that returned this error:

admin/settings/site-maintenance
admin/user/invite
admin/settings/front
admin/og/og_user_roles

In the last 2 cases I get a WSOD, but in the first two I just get a warning message that disappears after refresh. The code that returns error comes from call_user_func_array in this part of the code in menu.inc:

$arguments = isset($menu['callbacks'][$path]['callback arguments']) ? $menu['callbacks'][$path]['callback arguments'] : array();

$arg = substr($_GET['q'], strlen($path) + 1);

if (strlen($arg)) {
$arguments = array_merge($arguments, explode('/', $arg));
}

return call_user_func_array($menu['callbacks'][$path]['callback'], $arguments);

I have tried adding & to $arguments, I also used typecasting (array) before the $arguments, since the behavior of array_merge() was modified in PHP 5. Unlike PHP 4, array_merge() only accepts parameters of type array. But none of that helped.

ANYONE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEM?

Hi I have a similiar problem.

MuddassirAhmad commented 23 February 2011 at 08:01

hi all. I m new to drupal. I installed drupal 5.23 and I am using xampp having apache and mysql. when installing drupal i am having following error after creating user.

: Function ereg() is deprecated in D:\facelogic\xampp\htdocs\drupal\modules\user\user.module on line 263.

I am using localhost now.
Kindly help me out.

If you are new to Drupal you

nevets commented 23 February 2011 at 14:58

If you are new to Drupal you should be using Drupal 6 or 7. That message occurs because you are running a newer version of PHP than Drupal 5 supports.

Thank you Nevets

MuddassirAhmad commented 24 February 2011 at 08:34

Thank you for your reply. Yes am new to drupal. I am try to make a shopping site. I have heard from my drupal friends that ubercart is a well designed and experienced module. So I decided to use this. But after wards i found that ubercart is only for drupal 5. So Now I am using drupal 6.23 and e- commerce module now. But thing is that I am having very much problem because its help is not available. Not even video tutorials are available. Also Its documentation page is missing. Can you just guide me where I can found its true material and documentation.
