I am trying to remove this error:

PHP Fatal error:  Can't use method return value in write context in /usr/share/phoronix-test-suite/pts-core/objects/client/pts_installed_test.php on line 105

The issue was that i am using an old version of PHP, so I had to change:

if($this->get_runtime_errors() && !empty($this->get_runtime_errors()))

to:

if($this->runtime_errors && !empty($this->runtime_errors))

I want to automatically implement this change. I wrote an ansible script:

- name: Make new PHP file compatable

  lineinfile:

    path: /usr/share/phoronix-test-suite/pts-core/objects/client/pts_installed_test.php

    regexp: 'if($this->get_runtime_errors() && !empty($this->get_runtime_errors()))'

    line: "if($this->runtime_errors && !empty($this->runtime_errors))"

    backrefs: yes

However even though the process reports okay, no change is implemented.
