"...Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated - argument passed by value; If you would like to pass it by reference, modify the declaration of utf8_normalize_nfc(). If you would like to enable call-time pass-by-reference, you can set allow_call_time_pass_reference to true in your INI file. However, future versions may not support this any longer. in ..."

This is being seen in A LOT of places. My personal solution is to go to where the offending line is and comment it out. <shrugs> Wouldn't be so bad if there were only one or two times I had to do this, but so far I'm up to 12.

I'm having the same exact problem. I would assume just by reading the error that it has something to do with the fact that my server is running PHP 5.

confirmed.

Using: php 5.1.2 - 5.0.18-nt on a local testsystem.

In the php.ini:

allow_call_time_pass_reference = off

I'm not able to change this on my webserver and my provider don't want to activate it

This will be the placement of &$something when calling the function rather than using the &$ in the declaration of the function itself... should be a simple fix.

confirmed.

PHP 5.1.6
MySQL 5.0.27

Since I run and maintain all my own servers, in the php.ini I set it to the following:

allow_call_time_pass_reference = on

Everything works fine now.
