comments.php error

[badcat]

I'm getting this error:

Fatal error: Can't use function return value in write context in .../comments.php on line 39

any ideas?

Also getting this error with a fresh install, looking at 7acc16c and reverting line 39 code back to what it was resolves the issue. Hoping olefredrik has a chance to take a look at this.

Same here - I also tried this with Josh's fork https://github.com/josh-rathke/FoundationPress
For now, I've commented out lines 39 and 40.

I wanted to try to use FP as a parent theme, but it looks like it's really better to approach this like using UnderscoreS - and just start adding / removing what I need directly, instead of building a Child theme.

Same here...

Fatal error: Can't use function return value in write context in C:\EasyPHP14\data\localweb\projects\w4\wp-content\themes\foundationpress\comments.php on line 39

Like @t-fulton says, I change the line and works... Fallback to:

if (!empty($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']) && 'comments.php' == basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']))
    die (__('Please do not load this page directly. Thanks!', 'FoundationPress'));

Assigning to a variable and then checking if the variable is empty seems to work.

$file_name_to_check = sanitize_file_name( $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'] );
if ( ! empty( $file_name_to_check) && 'comments.php' == basename( sanitize_file_name( $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'] ) ) ) {
        die (__( 'Please do not load this page directly. Thanks!', 'FoundationPress' )); }

That helped me @LukePettway, thanks.
