PHPNuke 7.7 Cannot Post Topics in Forum

Guest

I use PHP-Nuke 7.7, and when you try to create a new topic in the forum, whether registered or anoynomus or registered, when you click Submit, a blank page comes up (with main menu and header). The preview works fine. What is wrong?

Enabled error reporting and checked your error logs?
Are you using the latest Patched files?

This is the error output I got from the error log:

Code:

I think the "PHP Fatal error" is the one causing the problem.

Correct

Code:

PHP Fatal error: Only variables can be passed by reference

This is problem with phpBB and PHP 5.
phpBB Team does not yet support PHP 5, they have not released a proper fix. But I'm sure you could check their forums for a fix - http://www.phpbb.com

Would the patched files help?

For this error, no. It's a phpBB code change.

Thank you for your help. Since the phpBB2 recommended fix didn't work (enabling register_long_arrays), I will be switching to PHP 4.
