 * After updating to 1.3.1 from 1.2.1 , an Internal Server Error happens.
 * This was in the error log.
 * “PHP Fatal error: Can’t use method return value in write context in /var/www/
   html/news/wp-content/plugins/somewhere-search-box/somewhere-search-box.php on
   line 233”
    Same thing has happened when I had updated “Hide Update Reminder” 
   to 1.3.0 from 1.2.1. The culprit was that the author modernized its code. Right
   now, the author has fixed it and no error happens.
 * Anyways, the server info that made this error are as follows:
 * Server Info:
    WordPress Version 4.8 Language ja Charset UTF-8 Memory Limit 40M(
   Max 256M)
 * PHP
    Version 5.3.3 SAPI apache2handler User apache Process apache Safe Mode Off
   Memory Limit 256M Memory In Use 57.00 MB Max Execution Time 30 Shell Exec Is 
   Supported Shell Exec Zip Is Supported Suhosin Extension Disabled
 * MySQL
    Version 5.0.45 Comments Source distribution Charset utf8 Wait Timeout 
   28800 Max Allowed Packets 1048576 msyqldump Path /usr/bin/mysqldump
 * I hope that you’ll be able to fix this for people like us with old php and mysql
   servers which we cannot update on our own.

 * Your version 1.3.1 still spills out errors.
    バージョン1.3.1も1.3.0同様Internal
   Server Errorになります。

 * I have just had the same thing happen… I went to update the somewhere-search-
   box and got the following message:
 * Fatal error: Can’t use method return value in write context in /homepages/10/
   d358770468/htdocs/vbweb/wp-content/plugins/somewhere-search-box/somewhere-search-
   box.php on line 233
 * and I now cannot access my website at all… it’s as if it doesn’t exist.
 * Did you get the problem resolved?

 * I fixed it… I just went into the directory and deleted the somewhere-search-box
   file.
