    Hi,
    my Blog suddently exit with the following Error MSG:
    Fatal error: Only variables can be passed by reference in /www/htdocs/…/wp-includes/gettext.php on line 66

    I havent change anything there so i dunno what happened there.
    My PHP Version is still 5 and all i have done is preparing the blog for a plugin -> i created an folder in the plugins folder but it remains empty because i dont want the plugin anymore, i deleted the folder, but the problem persist.
    Im not sure, but i guess that wasnt the problem

    Hi, i’ve got the same problem:
    Fatal error: Only variables can be passed by reference in (...)/wp-includes/gettext.php on line 66

    Server config is: Apache/2.0.54 (Unix) PHP/5.0.5

    Is there a fix to this error?

    Me too ??

    Apache/1.3.34(Unix) PHP/5.0.5

    I’ve turned error display off in php.ini, but I don’t think that is really the right solution!

    Any suggestions as to the cause of this error?

    Cheers, Chris

    I have the same problem in gettext.php on line 66,

    Yes, it runs on PHP 5 – which sees it as expression, not as a variable.
    This seems to fix it in PHP5:

    /**
    * Reads a 32bit Integer from the Stream
    *
    * @access private
    * @return Integer from the Stream
    */
    function readint() {
    if ($this->BYTEORDER == 0) {
    // low endian
    $promenna_v=’V’;
    $prom_pom = unpack($promenna_v, $this->STREAM->read(4));
    return array_shift($prom_pom);
    } else {
    // big endian
    $promenna_n=’N’;
    $prom_pom = unpack($promenna_n, $this->STREAM->read(4));
    return array_shift($prom_pom);
    }
    }

    How can I do this for pages ? Im using <?php wp_list_pages(''); ?>

    Plz help .

    I’ve found easy solution –

    just edit includes/gettext.php
    – find unpack(‘V’

    change this
    array_shift(unpack('V', $this->STREAM->read(4)));
    to
    $tmp=unpack('V', $this->STREAM->read(4));
    return array_shift($tmp);

    It worked on my blog..

    I had the same problem after upgrading to 2.0.4

    me to .. after uppgr to 2.0.4 .. if i trow back the old ( 2.0.3 ) file it works .. ??

    On wp-testers Ryan says he just checked in a fix which will be in WordPress 2.0.6 . It looks like it is r4555 branches/2.0/wp-includes/gettext.php: Can’t pass function return to array_shift
