Description

After having updated to php version 5.3.0, adding blocks to any site (front page or course) became impossible.
Worked well on the same environment but with php versions 5.2.8 and 5.2.9.
When trying to add a new block, the only thing happening is a refresh of the site, the block not showing up.

Downgrading php to Version 5.2.9 (www.entropy.ch Release 7) solves the issue again...

yes, there are multiple compatibility issues with PHP 5.3.0
I would personally not recommend it yet for production use

anyway, thanks a lot for the report!

Is there any workaround to his besides downgrading PHP? Our Site Admin block was accidentally removed and we CANNOT get it back. HELP!
