NEWBIE : Wierd Warning

xbhp

I am new to PHP. However I have a forum at http://www.xBhp.com. I am in the process of learning PHP and converting it to PHP. I have installed a certain breed of the phpBB called "Fully Modded PHPBB".

Whenever I want to create a new topic I get the following 'warning':

"PHP Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated - argument passed by value; If you would like to pass it by reference, modify the declaration of sscanf(). If you would like to enable call-time pass-by-reference, you can set allow_call_time_pass_reference to true in your INI file."

As of this moment I have no clue what this is supposed to mean. But its is probably having a negative effect on the new forum i am trying to build. Most of the times when I try to start a new topic by going to a link such as : http://www.xbhp.com/forumPHP/posting.php?mode=newtopic&f=1

the page keeps reloading and seems to be in a infinite loop.

I cant quite figure out where the problem is.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Looks like the script you are using was written for an older version of PHP since it's giving you a message about something being deprecated. Try finding which version of PHP the script was written for. A lot of these issues have come up from changes between PHP 4 and 5.
