I installed the Bed Edmund's Ion Auth login script and would like to make the functions global throughout my application.
I installed the code and it works great, but I'm having issues extending it. The ion Auth controller extends CI_Controller, so then in all my other controllers I extend Auth.
//Ion Auth Controller Class
class Auth extends CI_Controller {
and in a separate page:
//Home Page Controller Class, where I will be placing the login form
require_once("auth.php");
class Home extends Auth {
By doing this, I get the following PHP error:
Message: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated
I read in the CodeIgniter docs that extended classes must now begin with MY_, so I tried that as well with no luck.
What am I doing wrong? Is my logic all wrong?
Do a CTRL-F for =& inside the Auth class source code (the one you installed) and replace every instance by =.
$foo =& new Bar(); is a deprecated syntax that was used in PHP4 but no longer in PHP5.
