title: Xampp 1.7.4 and PHP 5.3.5 (Deprecated warnings)
body: <p>I just upgraded my Xampp installation to 1.7.4</p>
  
  <p>I had a working script (jquery calling PHP script and showing the returned value).</p>
  
  <p>After upgrade, my jquery is getting the result correctly, but in addition to the results, there are also some warnings that are returned, hence stopping my script to show the result (I checked in firebug). Here are the warnings:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p><br />
    <b>Deprecated</b>:  Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in <b>D:\xampp\php\PEAR\Config.php</b> on line <b>80</b><br />
    <br />
    <b>Deprecated</b>:  Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in <b>D:\xampp\php\PEAR\Config.php</b> on line <b>166</b><br />
    <br />
    <b>Deprecated</b>:  Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in <b>D:\xampp\php\PEAR\Config\Container.php</b> on line <b>111</b><br />
    <br />
    <b>Deprecated</b>:  Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in <b>D:\xampp\htdocs\phil\batteries\includes\class.db.php</b> on line <b>73</b><br />
    ["Motor Cycle ","Scooter","Personal Watercraft ","Snowmobile","ATV","Ride-on Mower","Utility Vehicle"]</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Keeping in mind the last line is the result being returned. but due to warnings, results are not populated. What can be the problem? I dont want to just off the error_reporting.</p>
  
  <p>thanks</p>
