[php] Only variable references should be returned by reference - Codeigniter

After the server PHP upgrade I am getting the following error with PHP Version 5.6.2 on Apache 2.0

A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Notice
Message: Only variable references should be returned by reference
Filename: core/Common.php
Line Number: 257

How can I fix this?

this has been modified in codeigniter 2.2.1...usually not best practice to modify core files, I would always check for updates and 2.2.1 came out in Jan 2015

It's not a better idea to override the core.common file of codeigniter. Because that's the more tested and system files....

I make a solution for this problem. In your ckeditor_helper.php file line- 65

if($k !== end (array_keys($data['config']))) {
       $return .= ",";
}

Change this to-->

 $segment = array_keys($data['config']);
    if($k !== end($segment)) {
           $return .= ",";
    }

I think this is the best solution and then your problem notice will dissappear.
