I updated our wiki server (1.16.2) from PHP 5.1.6 to PHP 5.3.3, and now MediaWiki is complaining about extensions not returning values in their hook functions, when they are definitely returning "true". Does this look familiar to anybody?
Example:
$wgHooks['SkinAfterBottomScripts'][] = 'MyClass::addBottomScripts';
class MyClass { static function addBottomScripts( &$sk, &$bottomScriptText ) { return true; } }
Results on rendering a wiki page:
MediaWiki internal error.

Thanks for any insights! DanB
