  Error on modules installation page

  Hi everybody!
  
  I got another problem:
  
  operating system - Ubuntu Linux 5.10 (Breezy Bagger)
  version of ATutor - 1.5.2
  versions of php - 5.0.2-2ubuntu1
  version of mysq l - 4.0.24-10ubuntu2
  webserver & version - apache 2.0.54-5ubuntu2
  
  When I go to to ../ATutor/admin/modules/add_new.php the following error is displayed:
  
  Fatal error: Only variables can be passed by reference in /var/www/ATutor/include/classes/Module/Module.class.php on line 287
  
  What did I make wrong?

  I can't reproduce this.
  
  Are you able to upgrade to the latest version of PHP?
  
  Thanks.

  Re: Error on modules installation page

  It seems to be a problem with some releases of PHP higher than PHP 5.0 and lower PHP 5.1. But I am not sure, beacuse I am not familar with PHP. I will try to upgrade to the latest version of PHP next days and then will give a brief report whether it works.

  Re: Error on modules installation page

  I found out that it is a problem with PHP 5 plus.
  
  with reference to http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1614, I manage to solve this problem by adding the following code:-
  
  [b]Original Code[/b]
  [php]
  function getName() {
  if ($this->isUninstalled()) {
  return current($this->getProperty('name'));
  }
  return _AT(basename($this->_directoryName));
  }
  [/php]
  
  [b]Fixed Code[/b]
  [php]
  function getName() {
  if ($this->isUninstalled()) {
  [red]$_nameFix = $this->getProperty('name');
  return current($_nameFix);[/red]
  }
  return _AT(basename($this->_directoryName));
  }
  /php]
  
  I keep a copy of the solution here at my personal techblog,
