Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated

For those of us without the option to modify php.ini, this warning makes the module unusable on a production site. I'd eagerly implement & test any patches to the module itself.

Add this to your .htaccess file (in your Drupal root directory):

php_flag allow_call_time_pass_reference on

It did the trick for my Drupal 6.8 install.

(I agree that this should not be needed though)

Here's a patch,

Adjust line 87 to read

      taxonomy_form_alter(&$form, $form_state, $form_id);

instead of

      taxonomy_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id);

should square that away...

I am getting this error still once the patch was applied

Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated; If you would like to pass it by reference, modify the declaration of [runtime function name](). 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 in /var/www/vhosts/mysite.com/httpdocs/drupal6/sites/all/modules/imagefield_import/imagefield_import.module on line 88

The line at 88 reads:
taxonomy_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id);

should it be
taxonomy_form_alter($form, $form_state, $form_id);

since both form and form_state are being passed by reference

Here is a patch that changes both parameters to no longer be passed by reference. I no longer get the error message in PHP 5.2.9.

Included in latest commit, release forthcoming.
