Fatal error: Only variables can be passed by reference in C:\wwwroot\hosted\aov\modules\clan\module_clan.php on line 295

I just upgraded my PHP to 5.0.5 and now I started getting this on my phpBB boards and etc...

It seems that I cannot like..trim a variable when feeding it to a function.. (example)

cannot do wrote:

submit_post($mode, $post_data, $return_message, $return_meta, $forum_id, $topic_id, $post_id, $poll_id, $topic_type, $bbcode_on, $html_on, $smilies_on, $attach_sig, $bbcode_uid, str_replace("\'", "''", $username), str_replace("\'", "''", $subject), $message, str_replace("\'", "''", $poll_title), $poll_options, $poll_length);

what I have to do wrote:

$message = str_replace("\'", "''",addslashes($message));
$poll_title = str_replace("\'", "''", $poll_title);
$username = str_replace("\'", "''", $username);
$subject = str_replace("\'", "''", $subject);

submit_post($mode, $post_data, $return_message, $return_meta, $forum_id, $topic_id, $post_id, $poll_id, $topic_type, $bbcode_on, $html_on, $smilies_on, $attach_sig, $bbcode_uid, $username, $subject, $message, $poll_title, $poll_options, $poll_length);

o.O why..... is this happning????
Why isn't it allowed anymore.... is there a way aroudn this?

Can you post the submit_post() function? That may lead to some sort of explanation. Right now I'm wondering about modified parameters, and if 5.0.5 is doing something weird with them, which is making you uncontiously define your parameters as such.

It's expecting arguments to be passed by reference, possibly to avoid copying large amounts of data. Only variables can be passed by reference, and not simple values.

I'm afraid there's no way around this one.
