[RESOLVED] return by reference warnings php 4.4.1

[jazz_snob]

Hosting company (lunarpages) upgraded to php 4.4.1 and zend 2.5.10a and now code that worked flawlessly for many months is returning warnings. Specifically, stuff like

$order =& Order::find($id);

or other places where I return an object by reference.

Here is the error:

Is there any known issue(s)?

Noted in the manual:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.references.return.php
Note: If you try to return a reference from a function with the syntax:return ($found_var); this will not work as you are attempting to return the result of an expression, and not a variable, by reference. You can only return variables by reference from a function - nothing else. [font=monospace]E_NOTICE[/font] error is issued since PHP 4.4.0 and PHP 5.1.0 if the code tries to return a dynamic expression or a result of the new operator.

Thanks, missed that.

I also seem to have shot myself in the foot because I turn display errors off in the main config file, but I turned them back on in the file in question. :eek:
