Can't you specify the version of PHP in .htaccess or something?
I didn't know that was possible. I'll talk to the server admins about it.
Thanks,

I don't really have much choice about the PHP version we're using unfortunately. I have been contracted to design an interactive site for a university department, and they are very keen to have it running on their own server, which runs 5.3. It might possibly be an option to move the site to a commercial server, but so far most of the errors I am getting seem to be non-fatal, so I am thinking to try and make the best of things on this server rather than ask them to switch. andy Michael Prasuhn wrote: > I wouldn't recommend 5.3 for Drupal for a long time. > > PHP 5.2 series is still getting updates and is at 5.2.11. > > While Drupal 6.14 is technically compatible with 5.3 (it suppresses > deprecated warnings for use of ereg) it is highly doubtful that much > of contrib is compatible, and probably won't be for a long long time. > > -Mike > __________________ > Michael Prasuhn > 503.512.0822 office > 503.539.3864 cell > 503.661.7574 home > mike@mikeyp.net <mailto:mike@mikeyp.net> > http://mikeyp.net > > On Oct 13, 2009, at 9:30 AM, andy baxter wrote: > > >> Hi all, >> >> I have recently moved a site from my test server (which is running php >> 5.2) to the live server (which is running php 5.3). >> >> Since doing this, a lot of pages are throwing error messages about a >> function expecting a reference argument. >> >> I have done enough research to get some idea of what the basic problem >> is, but still don't feel that I understand it well enough to dive in >> to >> trying to patch the code.
