What I really want to know is, if I find the (relatively few) places in the code where php5.3 is causing an issue that actually breaks site functions, and apply the fix above (i.e. &$variable -> $variable) or something similar, is this a good way of solving the problem for the time being, given that the site goes public on thursday, or is it just going to break something else, or cause other problems like security holes or whatever?
It seems to have stopped the error in the couple of places I've already tried it, but it worries me to just convert a pass-by-reference into a straight parameter pass like this. I like to understand what I am doing rather than just apply a patch, which is why I was asking if anyone can explain a bit more about what's going on here?
cheers,

What functions are we talking about? The answer to that will vary per the exact function being called.
Vis, show us da codez!
