xampp 1.7.2 upgrade - php web page errors

[bigpcman]

I upgraded fro 1.7.1 to 1.7.2 today. To resolve the php.ini upgrade I simply moved the php.ini-1.7.2 version into php.ini. I had not made any changes to the stock php.ini that came with 1.7.1 so I assumed this would work. Anyway I am getting many php errors - some examples follow:

Code: Select all

Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /opt/lampp/htdocs/comments/comment.php on line 106

Here's the php code from line 106:

Code: Select all

$c5t_form_renderer =& new HTML_QuickForm_Renderer_ArraySmarty($c5t_out->get_object, true);

Here's another error:

Code: Select all

Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /opt/lampp/htdocs/comments/include/library/DB.php on line 470

and here's the code from line 470:

Code: Select all

@$obj =& new $classname;

Any idea what's causing these errors?

Note the web site static pages and phpBB3 seem to be working OK. It's the GentleSource Comment Script that is having problems and generating many errors.
