Deprecated function: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated in phptemplate_init()

I am getting the same exact error, but I have no panels on my site.

Hey guys, I fixed this, at least for me. Apparently this is an issue if you are using PHP5.x and up. I noticed the error was telling me it was on line 303 of the template.php file.

function mobile_jquery_preprocess_dashboard_admin_display_form(&$vars) {
	mobile_jquery_preprocess_block_admin_display_form(&$vars);

Remove those pesky ampersands in the variable "vars" and the error will vanish!

Lines 302 and 303 should now read:

function mobile_jquery_preprocess_dashboard_admin_display_form($vars) {
	mobile_jquery_preprocess_block_admin_display_form($vars);

Basically for those two lines, replace (&$vars) with ($vars) and you are set to go.

As written in the PHP warning message it's a function called with parameters passed by reference that's deprecated...
so to fix it you just need to change the line 303:

mobile_jquery_preprocess_block_admin_display_form(&$vars);

to

mobile_jquery_preprocess_block_admin_display_form($vars);

the function declaration must keep "pass by reference" parameter and you shouldn't change its declaration.

function mobile_jquery_preprocess_dashboard_admin_display_form(&$vars)

Thanks, this worked for me on mobile_jquery-7.x-1.1-beta1 file mobile_jquery/template.php (line 303)

Original code:

/**
 * Preprocesses variables for block-admin-display-form.tpl.php.
 */
function mobile_jquery_preprocess_dashboard_admin_display_form(&$vars) {
	mobile_jquery_preprocess_block_admin_display_form(&$vars);

Updated code:

/**
 * Preprocesses variables for block-admin-display-form.tpl.php.
 */
function mobile_jquery_preprocess_dashboard_admin_display_form(&$vars) {
	mobile_jquery_preprocess_block_admin_display_form($vars);

Thanks @hbergin that worked for me too.

Removed the ampersand per comment #6

Indents should use 2 spaces instead of tabs, (though this was there already and the whole theme has this issue...)
Otherwise, patch in #7 is RTBC.

Confirming #7 corrects this issue
