some things that are not backwards compatible with PHP 5.1. The first issue is an extra notice in some cases. In our ( ezcMailTools ) class we implement a method that allows you to "reply" to a parsed e-mail message. In this method we have the folowing https://derickrethans.nl/overloaded-properties-get.html code: static function replyToMail( ezcMail $mail ) { // ... foreach ( $mail->to as $address ) http://support.pixelentity.com/threads/1187-Wordpress-3-5-Update-Fatal-error-Cannot-assign-by-reference-to-overloaded-object { // ... } // ... } As you can see we loop over one of the seemingly public variables of the $mail class. However, the ezcMail class does not have this as a public member variable, but instead uses overload as you can see in this code snippet: public function __get( $name ) { switch ( $name ) { case 'to': return $this->properties[$name]; } } fatal error This all works 'fine' with PHP 5.1, however with PHP 5.2 the following notice was generated for this code: Notice: Indirect modification of overloaded property ezcMail::$to has no effect in ../Mail/src/tools.php on line 364 The reason for this is that __get() only returns variables in read mode, while foreach() wants a variable in read/write mode as it tries to modify the internal array pointer. As it can't do this PHP 5.2 will now throw a warning on this. There is a workaround fatal error cannot however in the form of casting it to an array. After our changes the code now looks like: public function __get( $name ) { switch ( $name ) { case 'to': return (array) $this->properties[$name]; } } The second issue is related to this. In this case we did not see an extra notice but instead a fatal error: Fatal error: Cannot assign by reference to overloaded object in .../trunk/Url/src/url.php on line 242 The code around this line is: if ( array_key_exists( $index, $this->path ) ) { $this->path[$name] =& $this->path[$index]; } In this case $this->path is also an overloaded property returning an array. Because __get() returns a read-only variable assigning a reference can not work as that requires a variable to be in read/write mode. Most likely the code didn't work properly in PHP 5.1 either but luckily this is still in an unreleased component. However, I am not aware of a work-around here.

In this case you dynamically change your interfaces to a class component which makes the good harder to understand and to maintenance. Use getter-methods for object properties and re

I upgraded to Wordpress 3.5 (stupidly without exporting the most recent xml) and now having a major error on my home page and portfolio pages. I checked out the posted 3.5 fix, but it doesn't work for me. I've already tried deactivating and reactivating the plugins to no avail... Any help would be much appreciated! http://www.studiochartreuse.ca/ Fatal error: Cannot assign by reference to overloaded object in /hermes/bosweb25c/b1452/nf.ledesignca/public_html/wp-content/themes/rework/framework/php/PeTheme/PeThemeGallery.php on line 234 Thanks! 12-29-2012 #2 Ante View Profile View Forum Posts Private Message Lead Support Join Date Oct 2012 Posts 16,412 Hi, I see you don't have the latest version of the theme, download it off the themeforest and install the newest one. I believe that should sove the problem. 12-30-2012 #3 studiochartreuse View Profile View Forum Posts Private Message Visit Homepage Junior Member Join Date Nov 2012 Posts 6 Thanks for the quick reply. I've downloaded the new version and about to install. Just wondering if my customization of the colours and icons will be affected by the update? Thanks 12-30-2012 #4 Ante View Profile View Forum Posts Private Message Lead Support Join Date Oct 2012 Posts 16,412 If you used Custom CSS for colurse changing, that will stay intact so you are safe. Regarding icons, if you only chnaged them with css (again, using Custom CSS) then you are fine, but if you changed actual files you need to make a backup.
