hi

i'm developing a login form but when i try it i get this error "Deprecated : Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated"

it it leads me to line 4 of this function

function rows_count($result){
    $count=0;
   [I] while($temp = odbc_fetch_into($result, &$counter)){[/I]
        $count++;
    }
    return $count;
}

The error says it all really: passing by-reference at call time has been deprecated. That means, you should not be passing your function arguments as references when you call the function.

If you look at the documentation for odbc_fetch_into (), you will see that the $result_array parameter is implicitly passed-by-reference.

Fix: remove the ampersand before $counter.
