I've had a look at a lot of the similar questions and I'm not getting it, with regards to my code.
The Error :
Strict Standards: Only variables should be passed by reference in wordpress/wp-includes/class-oembed.php on line 116
and here is my code....
// Get Ready Display the Audio
$embedCheck = array("<embed", "<ifram");// only checking against the first 6
$mykey_values = get_post_custom_values('_format_audio_embed');
$content_oembed = '';
// check if the audio metabox is used
if ( isset($mykey_values) && !empty($mykey_values) ) {
// iterate over values passed
foreach ( $mykey_values as $key => $value ) {
$url = $value;
$wtf = wp_oembed_get($url);
if ( !empty($url) ) {
$firstCar = substr($url, 0, 6); // get the first 6 char.
// if its a http(s).
if ( strpos($firstCar, "http:/" ) !== false || strpos($firstCar, "https:" ) !== false ) {
// send it to wp_oembed to see if the link is oembed enabled.
$content_oembed = ($wtf !==false)
? ('"<div class="audio" style="width:100%; overflow:hidden;">' .$wtf.'</div>')
: ('<audio src="'.$url.'" preload="none" type="audio/mpeg"></audio>');
}
// if its the embed code that matches our array defined above.
else if ( audio_strpos_arr($firstCar, $embedCheck ) !== false ) {
$content_oembed = '<div class="video" style="width:100%; overflow:hidden;">' .$url. '</div>';
}
}
}; // end foreach
} // end conditional
If I remove the section in the conditional below the comment "send it to wp_oembed to see if the link is oembed enabled.", but stranger still if I pass it a soundcloud link - no error, but if its a locally hosted file it goes tits up.
Any Help would be greatly appreciated.
after a bit of fidling - seems the problem is related to this function http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_oembed_get
and what thats referencing in the incldued class-oembed.php says the following on line 116
112 function discover( $url ) {
113 $providers = array();
114
115 // Fetch URL content
116 if ( $html = wp_remote_retrieve_body( wp_safe_remote_get( $url ) ) ) {
