# Call-time pass-by-ref. error

 * Following error popped up after upgrading from b2->wordpress. If you need any
   phpinfo() information, let me know, as it might be my host’s install. Seems to
   work fine if I remove the ampersands from the call to stripslashes on lines 977&
   979.
    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
   stripslashes(). 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 /home/www/geistvox/b2-include/b2template.
   functions.php on line 977

 * Yeah, I seem to be getting the same thing here..
    Wonder if this may have something
   to do with the version of php my server is running?
