 * Hi draco678,
 * As I am using php 5.3.5, I don’t see this issue but I will upgrade my php or 
   I will see how to remove the pass by reference variable in the function print_endposts.

 * I decided to buy GridFX. It does a similar thing in a very visual style. Its 
   also skinnable so we were able to coerce it to do what we wanted.
 * Good option to have.
