VB 3.8.4 & PHP 5.3.0 - problems.

[speedway]

I just installed a dev environment on my Mac with PHP 5.3.0 and cannot get 3.8.4 to run. I get the following error when loading the site:

Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /Users/Bruce/Sites/AS-38-backup/global.php(607) : eval()'d code on line 50

Is there something I can do or is 3.8.4 just not compatible with PHP 5.3?

Known Bug.
Either downgrade PHP to 5.2.13 (or w/e version it is) or upgrade to vBulletin 3.8.5

... that changing =& to = also does the job. Doing that right now (tedious bloody job!) 'cause I do not have access to 3.8.5.....

That would mean going through many files.
There is the simple option of just downgrading PHP to v5.2.13

On my dev server yes, but if my host ever upgrades to PHP5.3.x I would be in trouble! Safer to do searches on all files and update them now than when my live site crashes. Of course, the other option is to fork out USD$200+ to "renew" my licence and download 3.8.5 but that isn't possible right now....
