Package: php5-uuid
Version: 1.6.2-1
Hello all,
the package is not usable if you use PHP out-of-the-box when calling
uuid_create(&$uuid);
This will raise an error because of 'allow_call_time_pass_reference =
Off' in the default php.ini which is shipped with the Debian PHP packages.
Also the following comment in php.ini tells this.
> Passing values by reference at function call time is a deprecated
feature which will
> be removed from PHP at some point in the near future.
I do not know when this happens, but switching off the
'allow_call_time_pass_reference' option on the one hand and forcing the
user to switch it on when using the uuid extension is not a good idea,
also because of security reasons.
Maybe using the PECL uuid extension will be a good solution to
workaround this issue.
I found some discussion about this also:
