Description:
------------
I wrote a script to gather an external RSS feed that I could use to show the user and have them select the articles of their choosing. If a RSS feed is used that does not exist I get a MESSAGE: Only variables should be assigned by reference.

Test script:
---------------
$url = 'www.rssfeednotexist.com';

$rss =& new XML_RSS($url);
$error = $rss->parse();

Expected result:
----------------
Return an error back to my script which I could handle and display a message.

Actual result:
--------------
MESSAGE: Only variables should be assigned by reference
TYPE: Notice
FILE: /usr/local/www/data/mmclaughlin/flexreg/trunk/lib/pear/XML/Parser.php
LINE: 479
DEBUG INFO:

474 }
475 }
476 // otherwise, $this->fp must be a string
477 } else {
478 if (!$this->_parseString($this->fp, true)) {
479 $error = &$this->raiseError();

480 $this->free();
481 return $error;
482 }
483 }
484 $this->free();
