 * Fatal error: Only variables can be passed by reference in /usr/home/deb7345/domains/

   lib/nggmeta.lib.php on line 330
 * That is the error message I get after uploading four photos to a gallery with
   NextGEN Gallery. The four photos are 5,2 MB together, and NextGEN Gallery says
   the upload limit is 8 MB. However, it seems the photos uploaded fine and nothing
   is wrong. But it would be better of course to see the error message fixed.
 * PHP version is 5.2.6, more info is [here](http://www.alexandervanloon.nl/phpinfo.php).
 * I just discovered NextGEN Gallery in my search for an alternative to Gallery 
   with the WPG2 plugin, which suddenly started giving me problems with error messages
   after working fine for months. NextGEN Gallery is the excellent solution for 
   me, it’s not overkill like Gallery which uses a database, and it’s not as limited
   as WordPress’ built in functionality for using images. I’m very satisfied with
   it and I will make sure to donate some money for it’s development.

 * a) Workaround : You can disable the meta import during upload
 * b) try the change the line to the follow code :
 * `$array = $this->setArrayValue($array[$key], $stack, $value);`
 * if this doesn’t help, please send me one photo per email

 * I just ran into this problem with NextGEN v1.3.5.
 * Solution (b) solved the problem (thanks!). Rare as this error may be, I think
   you might want to consider implementing that code in the next version of your
   plugin.
