[Plugin: WordPress Mobile Pack] WordPress Mobile Pack Won’t Work with PHP 5.0.5

    Hi, I just attempted to install WordPress Mobile Pack, but I received the following error message:

    Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error

    Fatal error: Only variables can be passed by reference in /mysite/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-mobile-pack/plugins/wpmp_transcoder/wpmp_transcoder.php on line 448

    I’ve traced this down to an issue with PHP 5.0.5, and how the PHP engine works. Apparently the reference in line 448 is good for previous version of PHP, but disallowed after 5.0.5.

    Any help?

    Thanks!

    Hi there…

    I need to ask what version you have. v1.0 was not compatible with PHP4.x or early versions of PHP5.

    But then starting from v1.1.1, we made it compatible with PHP 4.

    Also the line you refer to isn’t even in v1.1 so I wonder if you have an old version. Can you check? Or just download the latest and have another go?

    thanks

    Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

    I was using version 1.1.2, and now I just upgraded to version 1.1.3, and I am still getting the same error.

    /my_site/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-mobile-pack/plugins/wpmp_transcoder/wpmp_transcoder.php on line 448

    I am currently using WP 2.7.1, and the site is running with PHP 4.

    Thanks for taking the time to troubleshoot this issue.

    Hi there,

    Sorry for the delay on my end 😉

    I have built a fix for this that will be available in version 1.2.0… if you can wait a few weeks, that’s probably your best bet.

    I would also recommend getting your hosting off PHP4 in the long run, but I know that’s not always feasible.

    I have a fix for this in v1.2.0 if you can wait a week or two!

    Also moving off PHP4 might be a good plan in the long run, although I know that’s not always possible in a hosted environment.
