Only variables should be passed by reference help

[z3r0]

I've just moved my 3.8 site over to 3.8.10 and PHP5.6, I've managed to fix all pretty much everything that has broken, but I've got one that I just cant seem to get right.

Only variables should be passed by reference error for the following line:-

PHP Code:

$thread['synopsis'] = $this->parse_bbcode(unhtmlspecialchars($thread['synopsis'])); 


I'd be very grateful for a little help as I could spend days reading google and trying before I get it right

Thanks


Edit - I think I've got it sorted now

Try:

PHP Code:

$synopsis = unhtmlspecialchars($thread['synopsis']);
$thread['synopsis'] = $this->parse_bbcode($synopsis);

I assume this is from a modification you have installed ?

I dont think $thread['synopsis'] is part of core vB3.

Yeah, it was from the long time abandoned GARS.
