Error calling get_post (on PHP 4 I think)…

Hi guys,

I’m having a problem with a plugin I’ve written and I believe I’ve tracked down the issue but I’m unsure as to how to fix it.

I’m using get_post() to retrieve post data for a set of chosen posts and I’m getting the following error from about 20% of the people using the plugin:

Fatal error: Only variables can be passed by reference

I beleive these users may still be on PHP 4 which is causing the error when calling the function with a dummy variable:

$post_list = array(1,2,3,4,5);
foreach ($post_list as $post_to_get){
  $post_data = get_post($dummyid = $post_to_get);
}

Any thoughts on how to solve this?

Thanks in advance,

Dave.
