I have OEMR 4.1.0

I removed the “&” from each line, not sure if that will give me an error later!!!???

Thanks in advance!

If you are having errors, I believe you should change the error reporting in your php.ini file.  The correct parameter is in the forums somewhere.  Search for “PHP Deprecated” or “reference is deprecated” or similar.  You probably need to get another copy of the file or add the “&” back in.

php.ini 
error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE
(google it)
