Incompatibility between Joomla! 1.5 and PHP 5.3

Here are some things to change temporarily in the Joomla! code to address this. The best solution is to upgrade Joomla! or use a PHP version previous to 5.3

• [lopment/fixing-joomla-bug-parameter-1-to-jhtmlgridaccess-expected-to-be-a-reference/ libraries/joomla/html/html.php

Open "html.php" (in libraries/joomla/html) and find these two lines:

$args = func_get_args();
array_shift( $args );

They should be around line 85. Replace those two lines with:

$temp = func_get_args();
array_shift( $temp );
$args = array();
foreach ($temp as $k => $v) {
$args[] = &$temp[$k];
}

• libraries/joomla/cache/handler/callback.php

Open the file in ./libraries/joomla/cache/handler/callback.php and change this two lines: line 60 from

function get( $callback, $args, $id=false )
to
function get( $callback, &$args, $id=false ) //added & for reference call

and line 99 from

$result = call_user_func_array($callback, $args);
to
$result = call_user_func_array($callback, &$args); //added & for reference parameter
