   Hello,

   We have been running a wordpress website successfully on php5.2 with ISAPI but we need to upgrade the server to 5.3 which no longer supports isapi so using fastcgi.

   When the upgrade was done we are getting a lot of errors similar to these:-
   

   Warning: Parameter 1 to ec3_filter_posts_where() expected to be a reference, value given in C:\Wordpress_orginal\wp-includes\plugin.php on line 166
   
   Warning: Parameter 1 to ec3_filter_posts_join() expected to be a reference, value given in C:\Wordpress_orginal\wp-includes\plugin.php on line 166
   
   Warning: Parameter 1 to ec3_filter_posts_groupby() expected to be a reference, value given in C:\Wordpress_orginal\wp-includes\plugin.php on line 166
   
   Warning: Parameter 1 to ec3_filter_posts_orderby() expected to be a reference, value given in C:\Wordpress_orginal\wp-includes\plugin.php on line 166
   
   Warning: Parameter 1 to ec3_filter_posts_fields() expected to be a reference, value given in C:\Wordpress_orginal\wp-includes\plugin.php on line 166

   These are referring to a plugin I am using called event calendar (http://wpcal.firetree.net/) which is essential for the running of the site.

   If I disable this plugin i get the following errors:-
   

   Warning: strtotime() [function.strtotime]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected 'Europe/London' for '1.0/DST' instead in C:\Wordpress_orginal\wp-includes\functions.php on line 35

   Can anyone help me fix both the timezone issue and the event calendar plugin.

   Thanks

   I had a similar problem with Event Calendar when we moved up to PHP5.3 although I didn't see the timezone errors.

   Oddly, another site where WP and EC were freshly installed on 5.3 worked without complaint.

   Anyway, I found this, applied the hack to eventcalendar3.php and it seems to be working fine.

   Hope this helps,
   Mick
