Hiya. I downloaded and installed the USPS Methods 6.1a module, along with the required xml files, and lo and behold (I knew this wasn't going to be "easy" lol) I get this error in my admin panel when I go to download and re-install the module (per the instructions that came with the add on) Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /home/xxxxxxx/xxxxxx_xxxx/admin/includes/classes/xml_5.php on line 25. I followed the instructions step by step, and VERY slowly, triple checking the whole way making sure I was putting what goes where in the correct spots. Any ideas on this error and why I am getting it? Any advice on fixing it? Here is the string of coding: //################################################################################## // XML_unserialize: takes raw XML as a parameter (a string) // and returns an equivalent PHP data structure //################################################################################## function & XML_unserialize(&$xml){ $xml_parser = &new XML(); <--------------------------- LINE 25 $data = &$xml_parser->parse($xml); $xml_parser->destruct(); return $data; } //################################################################################## // XML_serialize: serializes any PHP data structure into XML // Takes one parameter: the data to serialize. Must be an array. //################################################################################## function & XML_serialize(&$data, $level = 0, $prior_key = NULL){ if($level == 0){ ob_start(); echo '<?xml version="1.0" ?>',"\n"; } while(list($key, $value) = each($data))
