Petr, which commits should fix these bad assignments? Checked CVS and it looks like there are definitely some illegal assignments still in the trunk. As far as I can tell, there are ~100 places in Moodle that make illegal old-style assignments.

Are these going to be patched based on changing syntax or using the PHP4/5 dual-compatibility workaround?

The former:

$obj =& new Class($attrs);
$obj = new Class($attrs);

The latter:

function & build(&$new){ return $new; }
$obj =& build(new Class($attrs));

This is an interesting issue that plagues Moodle heavily.

We don't support PHP 4 in Moodle 2, so we just need to change the syntax. Eric, could you post your list of places and perhaps even a patch?
