Description: ------------ I have an error when I put just an require or require_once instruction... It is seems to be a problem with declaration of functions : in the archive.php : function read($URL, $symbolic = null, $uncompression = 0, $directoryDepth = -1, &$source = null) This syntax is only allowed as of PHP5 IIRC (parameters passed by-ref cannot have a default value in PHP4). And so on for other functions... So, it's a bug if the package has no PHP5 dependency, and I see Php 4 and Php 5 in the API documentation... Reproduce code: --------------- function read($URL, $symbolic = null, $uncompression = 0, $directoryDepth = -1, &$source = null)

Thank you for your bug report. This issue has been fixed in the latest released version of the package, which you can download at http://pear.php.net/get/File_Archive I split the read function to function read($URL, $symbolic = null, $uncompression = 0, $directoryDepth = -1) (which act as if the $source parameter was ommited) and function readSource(&$source, $URL, $symbolic = null, $uncompression = 0, $directoryDepth = -1)
