Description: ------------ I was advised to upgrade to this beta version of MDB2 to address multiple deprecation errors in the current stable release. After uninstalling MDB2 (stable), I installed MDB2 2.5.0b3 without error. This version of MDB2 continues to generate deprecation errors (though not as many as in the stable version). Test script: --------------- $dsn_site = "$driver://$dbuser:$dbpass@$dbhost/$db"; $mdb2_options = array( 'debug' => 2, 'portability' => MDB2_PORTABILITY_NONE, ); $dbx_pear = MDB2::factory($dsn_gor, $mdb2_options); Expected result: ---------------- No warnings. Actual result: -------------- Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /usr/share/php/MDB2.php on line 393 Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /usr/share/php/MDB2.php on line 2647

This sounds exactly like Bug #18050 Can I get you to double check you are on 2.5.0b3? $ pear list | grep MDB2

Daniel, I made a type-o in installing, and was using the b2 version. I've uninstalled that version, installed 2.5.0b3, and the deprecation errors have gone away. Thanks.
