Yup, just use xml_set_object($this->parser, $this);, the reference to
the second parameter rather then the value should be declared in the
funcion.

Braces ({}) for constructs like clasess, functions, and control
structures should bever end with ;

It means that this is wrong:

<?php
function foo($bar) { ... }
foo(&$baaz);
?>

And this is right:

<?php
function foo(&$bar) { ... }
foo($baaz);
?>

That means that you missed a "}" in the show_menu() function, check it out.
I'd suggest you to use an editor capable of keeping track of nested
parenthesis.

Hello,

I am learning PHP5. I need to parse XML file and I found a solution in some
book on PHP5 ("PHP5 Programming" by Rasmus Lerdors and others).
Unfortunately I have two problems that I don't understand:

Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated; If you would like
to pass it by reference, modify the declaration of xml_set_object(). If you
would like to enable call-time pass-by-reference, you can set
allow_call_time_pass_reference to true in your INI file.
